Find Your Next Hire

At the Institute for Advanced Analytics, we have a strong track record of producing top-notch data science professionals who become assets to the organizations they join. Our rigorous 10-month Master of Science in Analytics program exposes students to both the technical and business aspects of data science.

Our experienced career services team works with organizations — both large and small — to recruit for their data science roles from among our cohort. Organizations like JPMorgan Chase, Guidehouse and Lowe’s Home Improvement hire our graduates as consultants, analysts, data scientists and more.

We also welcome organizations to engage with our students throughout the year. Companies can present virtual or in-person talks, case studies or panels on real analytics challenges. Organizations are invited to submit proposals to sponsor eight-month practicums, which are required for students.

Tap Into Our Talent Pool

Our M.S. in Analytics students develop expertise in data science, statistics, programming, machine learning and visualization. When you partner with us on an applied data project, a student team will be assigned to work on your identified business challenge. They’ll spend eight months understanding the problem, cleaning and analyzing your data, and delivering actionable insights and data-driven recommendations.

We’ve completed over 300 sponsored projects spanning nearly every industry since we opened our doors in 2007. Our student teams work under confidentiality agreements and each project result belongs entirely to its sponsoring organization. Submit your practicum proposal by July 1.

We do not charge a sponsorship fee, but appreciate sponsors fully or partially covering project-related travel expenses for students.

“The M.S. in Analytics program taught us to break down messy, real-world problems, ask the right questions, and figure things out in a structured and thoughtful way.”
