Brad had just started the NYU Stern Master of Science in Business Analytics program when he could already see dividends. Shortly after completing the program’s initial module, he was interviewing for a position as data scientist at J. Hilburn, the men’s clothier. “Learning how to articulate and frame a data mining problem was instrumental in preparing me for the interviews,” Brad recalls. “It enabled me to envision how my future growth in the program could help J.Hilburn accomplish the goals it had established.”
