Why did you decide to join the Master of Management Analytics program?
I have been extremely interested in the field of Data Science and Analytics since high school. During my undergraduate program, I had the opportunity to work on a few academic projects dealing with data directly. This led me to take a particular interest in the application of analytics to guide business decisions.
While my degree in Computer Science equipped me with the basic technical skills to reach data-driven solutions, I knew I needed to strengthen my understanding of how real-world businesses approach these problems. The MMA program offered a well-rounded syllabus that not only balances technical and management skills, but also puts significant emphasis on getting hands-on experience with the practicum project.
Top reason(s) for choosing Rotman:
- Emphasis on applying technical skills for every aspect of management
- Practicum project
- Experienced faculty
- Designed to accommodate people with less professional experience
- Career Services and industry awareness
What are you looking forward to the most in the program?
A month into the program, I am looking forward to starting the practicum project. I am also looking forward to returning to in-person classes and working with my peers.
What do you expect to gain in your next 11 months at Rotman?
In the next 11 months I hope to have a better understanding of how analytics is applied end to end. I hope to expand my network and make lifelong connections within the Rotman community.
