"I received my undergraduate degree in Business Analytics at UNT and received a job offer as a Management Analyst for the Air Force Manpower Analysis Agency before graduating. Even before graduation I knew that I wanted to continue to learn more about Data. Through the Advanced Data Analytics program, I was able to gather more insight into the Data Science world and apply these learning and use real world datasets to gather insights through class projects. Most of the class work was easily transferable to my full-time job, making a huge impact on my professional development."
