Leading the Way

Kellogg is the first business school to build a cross-organizational approach to data analytics that is specifically for business leaders.

Long before big data and analytics became buzzwords, Kellogg was equipping business leaders with the knowledge they need to harness the possibilities of data analytics. We believe analytics is a leadership problem, driven by strong managerial judgment. PDAK seeks to provide our students with a robust working knowledge of data science in order to confidently leverage data analytics for effective decision making. Thanks to our partnerships with companies and industry leaders around the world, we are dedicated to providing the most relevant programming to meet market needs.
