Welcome to Data Analytics at Queens College
About
We teach students to leverage statistical analysis and social science research methodology skills to produce real-world results. Our students move on to careers in marketing, media, government, technology, finance, healthcare, education, and other sectors.
Our recent graduates work in firms as varied as McKinsey & Company, the National Center for Education Statistics, Oracle, Nielsen, the New York Times, the National Audubon Society, and several tech startups. Whether we use our skills for business, government, or non-profit causes, our discipline involves blending information technology and social science to help solve real-world problems.
