About Us


The Business Analytics Society serves at UTK's premier organization for students interested in Business Analytics and the growing field of data analysis. We serve to bridge the gap between what students are learning in the classroom and how employers are utilizing analytics in the real world. We accomplish this by bringing in major companies and executives, as well as holding various workshops throughout the year.
