Data is the DNA of every organization. Both a science and an art, the collection, storage, and interpretation of data has quickly become a standard operating procedure in today's information economy. From cloud-based businesses or brick and mortar corner stores, to financial services or social services, it's what shapes strategies, drives decisions, and helps leaders identify areas for opportunity and improvement in nearly every industry.
Discover a topic you love, an issue that inspires you, or a problem that needs solving, and then dive deep into it—again, again, and again. At Champlain College, Data Analytics isn't just routine practice in statistics, charts, and spreadsheets. It's about knowing where and how to find the big picture (and its small, hidden details) and recreate it for leaders in clear, compelling, and informative ways. You'll quickly begin to understand how data tells a story as the Upside-Down Curriculum has you interpreting datasets in your first semester.

In fact, in this high-demand field, it's common for our student interns to get paid for doing what they love, well before they graduate.

Our faculty and Career Collaborative are dedicated to helping you find and get in the door to your chosen career.
Studying at one of the top-ranked schools for information technology has its perks, but the ultimate will be the people you get to explore them with. Every year, the Division of Information Technology & Sciences is home to countless collaborative events, clubs, and opportunities like conferences, cybersecurity competitions, and hackathons that bring students together and with their professional community.
