MSM 596 Analytics V: Practicum
The purpose of the course is to provide students a real- world hands-on opportunity to work directly with an outside organization in data analytics related activities. Students will work under the close supervision of a faculty member with an outside organization to help them manage and analyze their data within the organization. Students will review background information on the organization and its strategic objectives and will then interview management to better understand the objectives of the data analytics project and how it aligns with the organizational strategy. The students will then develop data analytics models and work with the organization to apply those analytics models to determine the best decision action to take based on the available data.
