UNH’s Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics has launched a new Business Analytics Initiative aimed at providing New Hampshire and regional businesses with the critical help they need to sustain a competitive advantage — graduates who can harness the power of big data, and support to help them employ analytics tools to create value for their business.
Alumnus Peter T. Paul ’67 has made a $6 million gift to jump-start the initiative. A $25 million gift by Paul significantly funded the new state-of-the art college in 2008 and in 2013 the former Whittemore School of Business and Economics was renamed.
“This investment in the Business Analytics Initiative will enable Paul College to build on its strong foundation and accelerate its educational offerings, research contributions, and industry engagement in this critical field that is reshaping business worldwide,” Paul said. “The college is now recognized as one of the nation’s top business schools and I am proud to make this new investment to help it go from good to great as a significant player in this fast-evolving and growing field.”
"Our vision is to build out a comprehensive and integrated Business Analytics Initiative that will drive the expansion of programs, course offerings, enrollments, research, and engagement to meet student and industry demand. We are developing business analytics as a specific area of academic expertise that will further distinguish us among business schools."
