UW-Superior has added a new major, business analytics, to its portfolio of more than 50 undergraduate majors and minors. The program will prepare students to meet the rapidly growing demand for trained professionals in nearly every industry who can analyze and interpret data to inform strategic decisions. “Analytics has been utilized in business for many years now,” said Mei Cao, director of the UWS School of Business and Economics. “However, with data sets growing larger and technology becoming more powerful, there is a need for professionals that understand the tools and processes to make use of this data in a meaningful way. While the School of Business and Economics has already been incorporating some business analytics into our current curriculum, this program will give students the opportunity to go more in-depth and prepare for career opportunities in the field.” The business analytics program is available as a major or minor beginning fall semester 2022 and is offered in an on-campus format. Curriculum focuses on identifying business problems and opportunities using analytic tools and techniques, and how to use data to drive decision-making. Students also learn computer visualization methods and how to effectively communicate recommendations to stakeholders. To learn more, visit uwsuper.edu/businessanalytics.

A new wave of renovations for UW-Superior are potentially on the horizon with two projects that could become beneficial for both the campus and community. “The potential Belknap and 28th Street projects explore how UW-Superior can work with partners to create community assets and revitalize underutilized areas on campus,” said Jenice Meyer, senior strategic partnerships officer and director of The Link Center at UW-Superior. “If successful, the project will further create a campus that is attractive to current and future students, enhancing their curricular and out-of-classroom experiences, while simultaneously responding to external community and regional needs.” The project includes two potential areas of development near campus. The nearly 8-acre Belknap site includes the potential redevelopment of the unused Ole Haugsrud Stadium and surrounding area to include an indoor turf field. The 28th Street Project involves the possibility of an expanded Wessman Arena with outdoor competition fields on its nearly 15 acres. Its location across Catlin Ave. from Superior High School would complete the current athletics corridor between UW-Superior and the high school.
