The projects, using real-world situations and data, serve as preparation for careers in industries such as marketing, consulting, and finance that require extensive knowledge and application of industry-leading consultative processes.
Many organizations face the challenges of developing information into knowledge and then converting that intelligence into actionable decisions. Organizations demand the interdisciplinary skills of professionals who can find insights through research and analysis that can assist decision-makers across various divisions.
