Implementing Analytics for Business - Capstone I

Catalog description

BAN 886 serves as the first of two courses ( BAN 886 and BAN 887 ) in the two-part capstone course sequence in the Master of Business Analytics program. This course applies graduate studies in business analytics to a hands-on use case that closely mimics real-world analytical consulting work. Students will apply skills in data management, stakeholder management, ethical use of data and analytics, business acumen, and professional communication with a nontechnical stakeholder. The student must work with a consulting team, manage the client relationship, frame a business problem, reframe the business question as an analytics question, and acquire and clean data in preparation for follow-on analysis.
