The analytics practicum provides an opportunity for students to gain individual, practical experience related to business analytics. Students will complete a report based on one of the following: - Reflection paper related to an internship experience: Students will describe work accomplished and knowledge gained from working on a part-time or full-time internship in an area directly related to Business Analytics (e.g., data engineering, data analysis, data modeling, machine learning, data visualization). The paper should demonstrate the student's knowledge of Business Analytics concepts acquired through the internship experience. - Research Project: Students will select a topic related to Business Analytics which has not been covered in existing coursework or significantly extends concepts taught in the MSBA curriculum. The research topic can be novel or can be an extension of work completed during the capstone project. It should be substantive enough in terms of technical, quantitative, data management, or programming aspects and contain appropriate references. Students should not merely compile work of others, but also display genuine critical thinking.
