Center for Business Analytics

UC's Center for Business Analytics empowers local and global organizations with the cutting-edge analytics capabilities they need to become best-in-class in their industry.


Serving the Data Science Community

Leadership Development

Our approach to leadership development is multi-faceted, providing a range of services to our members and the community. Our programming helps representatives from member organizations stay up-to-date on the latest trends in analytics, while also developing the talent needed to drive success.

Public Events

Our large events, such as the Analytics Summit and Data Science Symposium, draw hundreds of attendees and feature internationally recognized speakers. These events are not only informative, but they also provide invaluable networking opportunities.

Professional Analytics Training

Organizations must have the analytical tools and talent to make informed decisions. Our non-credit short courses help public and private companies alike develop their current talent. Taught by recognized experts in their respective fields, our courses span data visualization and analytics with Excel, to Python and SQL.

Analytic Problem-Solving

To complement training, our center also offers analytical problem-solving services. Our team of professional project managers, talented students, and experienced academic experts utilize state-of-the-art analytics to help organizations analyze and solve their most pressing problems.

Student Engagement

We help facilitate the identification of top analytics talent through our student engagement programs. We partner with UC's award-winning analytics programs to identify the best candidates for co-ops or full-time positions.
