OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB?
Students do no need to go through an interview to join BIA. Our club wants to build an open community where any SMU students can join to learn more about data analytics.
"Analytical skills and knowledge are increasingly important in the working world. BIA provides both the training, and the network (through its friendly community) to really brush up and learn key skills."
