Course Title

Analytics Practicum (Spring 21)

Collaboration Overview

The Masters in Business Analytics Program at Montclair State offers an experiential learning opportunity for the students to apply their Business Analytics skills in solving a real business problem. In this course, students will work on a collaborative group project that addresses a live business problem using the analytical techniques learned in the other courses comprising this major. Students will clearly articulate the business problem and the goals of their chosen analytical approach. They will have access to realistically big data and an opportunity to appreciate, through an application, the possibilities and limitations of these analytical techniques. Students will be placed in companies and expected to understand and communicate the business implications of their analysis to interested stakeholders. Companies are welcome to take on more than one student team. For your reference, explore this Example Project with Weather Trends 360.
