Students gain hands-on experience manipulating data, applying algorithms, and participating in real-world business scenarios, including field trips to companies and a business pitch competition.
The USC Pre-College Business Analytics Summer Program, "Analytics: The Power of Data for Businesses," offers high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in data analysis within a business context. Participants learn to organize, clean, visualize, and interpret data, applying algorithms for predictive analysis and market segmentation. The curriculum covers a wide range of subjects including statistics, finance, marketing, operations, communications, economics, and accounting, demonstrating how data-driven decision-making is crucial across these disciplines. Students will gain practical skills in programming with Python, using large language models (LLMs) for coding assistance, generating classification tools, and implementing clustering algorithms. The program also explores A/B testing methodologies and the integration of LLMs into these tests. Through engaging coursework, interactive assignments, and experiential learning opportunities, including potential field trips to companies like the Dodgers or Google, students develop a data analyst's perspective, keen to identify and leverage data-driven opportunities in the real world. The program culminates in projects such as infographic creation and a business pitch competition, allowing students to apply their acquired knowledge to real-world business problems.
Participants attend class from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with breaks for lunch or field trips, followed by residential activities in the evenings and free time for studying or recreation.
This program is ideal for academically motivated high school students who are interested in understanding how data is used to make strategic decisions in various business functions and who want to gain hands-on experience with data analysis techniques.
