Give your students an analytic advantage

Program Overview

Regardless of industry, future business leaders must be proficient at incorporating analytics into their business strategies. This does not mean that business students should all become data science practitioners, but they must possess the expertise needed to interpret, appreciate, and communicate analytically-derived findings.

The FICO® Academic Engagement Program (AEP) was designed to help undergraduate and graduate students develop practical knowledge by analyzing real-world business challenges with state-of-the-art analytical software. Supported by the FICO Analytic Cloud, participating students receive the guidance to help define business challenges while maintaining the freedom to explore their own solution paths.
