With an increasingly popular major in business analytics, more than 30 courses focusing on big data, and cutting-edge interdisciplinary initiatives, Wharton is leading the way in creating business innovators and executives who power insight to reinvent decision-making.

This effort led by Wharton People Analytics develops research-based assessment tools that measure what was once considered immeasurable. People Lab integrates behavioral and decision science, psychology, management, and leadership education. Its tools, data, methods, and projects will be available to undergraduate and MBA students, alumni, executive education participants, and research partner organizations around the world.

Analytics@Wharton
Whereas analytics was once its own discipline, big data now cuts across disciplines, industries, and economies. Marketing is analytics. Management is analytics. Business itself is analytics. The Analytics@Wharton initiative, which will launch in November 2019, will serve as a focal point for the application of data science to all business fields. The initiative will draw top researchers from around the world who will use data modeling to study industry and global issues, illuminating current challenges and new opportunities.
