Business Analytics: Meeting the Need for Talent
"There’s an industry shortage of talent in big data and business analytics. Pamplin’s business analytics concentration gives students a solid education in both. This is how our master’s program is different from other analytics programs in engineering, computer science, and statistics.”
-Linda Oldham, Executive Director of Pamplin’s Center for Business Intelligence and Analytics (CBIA)
“Big data and analytics are impacting every sector of business. By supporting research, teaching, and outreach in business intelligence and analytics, the CBIA will keep the Virginia Tech community at the forefront of this field.“
