Emily Holden Smith, Class of '19
Data Analyst, Catalyst Corporate Credit Union
When I started my MBA program at UNT, I did not know what aspect of business I wanted to focus on. After taking all of my core courses, I took Dr. Torres's Data Mining class and knew Data Analytics was the right path for me. I then declared my focus as Business Analytics and took as many data based classes as I could. I currently work as a Data Analyst for the Risk Analysis group at Catalyst Corporate Credit Union where I am transforming their data and making it easier to access and model using Alteryx.

I was able to diversify my skillset of analytical tools and programs, while also gaining a deeper understanding of business. The program featured individual and group project work that prepared me for real-world application. Together, these skills have helped me to excel in my current role as a supply chain analyst.

Ankit Pujari, Class of '20
Business Intelligence Analyst, Amazon - AWS
It’s been an amazing journey pursuing MSBA from UNT. The advanced coursework helped me expand and sharpen my knowledge in the space of analytics. My role as a Research Assistant at UNT’s Jim McNatt’s Institute of Logistics Research, where I chartered analytics as a service on projects also boosted my skills and confidence. Apart from the academic support, UNT did not cease to provide all kinds of support and scholarships even during the tough times. It was hard to say goodbye too early, but this journey made me ready to start a new chapter at Amazon.

P. Maxwell Douglas
DA/IT Audit Intern, Kimberly-Clark Corporation
The Business Analytics program provided me the essential skills to not just contribute, but thrive within my internship. The Data Warehousing and Big Data courses taught by Prof. Kashif Saeed proved crucial in building my understanding of the role of data in a business environment and the relationships between the different logical parts of that data. Additionally, by focusing on technologies such as Hadoop, MySQL, Python, Scala, and Spark, and providing projects where students could see how these different components fit together, the students gained not only experience with these technologies, but also real world skills that could be taken into our future careers.
