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.
Huda Nahas, Class of '20
Supply Chain Analyst, PepsiCo/Frito-Lay
The UNT MBA-BA program equipped me with the knowledge required to stay competitive in the current job market. 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.

The UNT provided me a tremendous opportunity to apply the material I learned in the MBA in Business Analytics program in my internship. It is incredible to see how the theoretical work came to life. The UNT provided countless opportunities to work individually and in groups with colleagues and students from all backgrounds. From this experience, I gained a great deal of leadership and technical skills. Additionally, the UNT personnel work extremely hard to individualize the experience for reach graduate student and provide graduate students with training geared towards their interests.

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.

It was a tough decision for me to leave a high paying job and to move to the United States to start my MS degree. However, when I look back, I have no regrets but have many good stories to share. Joining UNT to pursue MS in Business Analytics at G. Brint Ryan School of Business was one of the best decisions that I took in recent times. I enjoyed every moment that I spent with college staff and professors. UNT has provided every support that a student needs including counselling and career guidance. There were plenty of scholarship and on-campus job opportunities that helped students to support their education. I highly recommend considering UNT for advanced education.
