Bachelor of Science Data Analytics
In JWU’s Data Analytics program, you’ll learn problem-solving skills that can be applied to any industry while benefiting from personalized attention in a small department. You’ll build a strong foundation in applied statistics, programming, data visualization and spreadsheets, and master the tools and software needed to collect and analyze data. This knowledge will help you uncover patterns, find correlations and predict outcomes for better decision-making in your field. Along with your focus on math, programming and communication, the program offers room for a minor in another subject of your choice, such as business, hospitality, design, health or technology, preparing you for a career in various sectors like corporations, nonprofits, schools or government agencies.
Student opportunities abound for hands-on data analysis, from completing a Directed Experiential Education (DEE) for course credit to taking advantage of opportunities for undergraduate research. Our Data Analytics students have been placed in internships at partners that include the Department of Defense, MIKEL Inc., Horizon Healthcare Partners, Chubb, Harmony Biosciences, the Providence Performing Arts Center, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Office of Institutional Effectiveness and the American University in Florence, Italy.

My Assessment: Overall Job Opportunity Potential
- JWU offers very good job opportunity potential, especially for students who make the most of the experiential learning, internships, and networking offerings.
- If you maximize what the university offers (internships, campus recruiting, alumni network), you have a high chance of finding a good job soon after graduation.
- For international students or those planning to work outside the U.S., you’ll need to check whether your field is in demand locally, whether your qualification is recognized, and whether visa/work permit rules allow you to stay and work.
