“Data analytics has become the vital skill for business students in today’s environment. Recruiters emphasize it constantly, and we are hearing from our alumni and interns returning from the summer that they need to strengthen these skills. It does not matter which area of business you plan to enter; you need to know how to understand and analyze data.”
