DATA-DRIVEN RESULTS | HIGH-IMPACT EXPERIENCES
ABOUT US
The Corporate Business Analytics Group (CBA Group) pairs local companies with a team of outstanding undergraduate students to solve real-world business problems using advanced analytics. Through these paid experiential learning opportunities, student teams work with – and learn from – industry partners to deliver high-impact analytic solutions. Supported by key faculty and staff, these year-long projects bring in-demand analytical tools and techniques to regional businesses.
OUR VISION
Experiential Learning
Each corporate project provides students with a deeper understanding of using analytics in business and industry – how to interpret, frame, and solve problems in order to develop and execute analytic solutions in businesses.
Impact
Data analytics provide impactful, fact-based decision support. At the end of each project, the CBA Group provides data-driven deliverables, including a professional report and presentation to enterprise executives. CBA Group students are trained in machine learning and predictive analytic tools to implement advanced analytics to solve big data, and big business, problems.
Opportunity
Every CBA Group project is an opportunity for both the corporate partner and the student team to work together to drive data-backed decisions. Partners gain access to new subject matter, tools, and perspectives, while students gain valuable network connections and work experience.
