Center For Analytics And Data Science At Miami University

The Center for Analytics and Data Science provides an innovative environment where students and faculty can embrace the application of analytics and data science; engage in research that transforms the practice of analytics and data science; receive support in developing their skills; and find opportunities to elevate their understanding through research, coursework, collaboration and experiential learning. CADS hosts several analytics and data science events throughout the school year, including career receptions, employer-student luncheons and various industry-related experiential learning projects where students and companies can connect. In the spring, the Center hosts DataFest, a contest in which teams of students compete to analyze a large, complex and rich data set with cash prizes on the line of up to $1,000. Partnering organizations have the exclusive ability to participate in the above activities as well as advise the Center through a seat on the advisory board. Partners include: Cardinal Health, Cleveland Clinic, EY, Fifth Third Bank, FIS, and MTD Products.
