“ I was an Area Manager during my 10-week internship with Amazon. I worked at a fulfillment center in Windsor, CT. I was a member of the inbound team, so we were in charge of bringing products into the building and storing them. I led a team of up to 100 associates who I interacted with per shift. I gave associates feedback, made sure our team met deadlines, and participated in a process improvement project where I saved the building up to $80,000 per year.”

Master Of Applied Business Analytics (M.A.B.A.)
The goal of this program is to address the growing demand for analytical capabilities in solving business problems that are demanded by a variety of employers within the United States. Research results from public and private sectors show that there are substantially fewer experts in the field of business data analytics than there are opportunities for them.
The program is designed in a way that it may be completed on a full-time (1 calendar year) or part-time (2 calendar years) with 30 credits, plus a maximum of 12 credits of pre-requisites and a required internship (part of 30 credits). The program is a unique combination of one functional area of business and a breadth of courses in business analytics capped by an internship at your place of work or at a new employer.
