Business analytics, economics and information systems students
As I was learning data visualization, I started using my own business data as extra practice outside of my homework. I would practice using Power BI to create data analysis reports to help me understand it better. It helped me learn what I was doing in school even more, but it also helped with my business by learning what was selling the best and what had the highest margins.

It comes down to relationships, and I think BGSU is unique in that sense because it’s the perfect size. I can be my own person and still meet new people, but whenever I walk around, there’s always a familiar face.

This is the greatest experience I could have asked for. People ask me if I would change anything about coming to BG or if I would ever think about transferring, and the answer is: no way. BGSU is where I want to be.
