Data Analytics Internship
The Data Analytics internship is work experience through a company or institution that allows students to apply the data analytics coursework they have been carrying out during their program. Internships can be completed any semester and can be in-person, remote, or hybrid.
Three credits of DATA 498 Internship are required to graduate with the BS in Data Analytics. Each 55 hours of data analytics internship work serves as 1 academic credit. Students can complete the work all in one semester or in several 1-credit segments.
