Graduate students of the Samuel Curtis Johnson School of Business and the Department of Information Science will collaborate with various companies to launch a  Digital Technology Immersion (DTI) Program this semester, according to a University press release. The program — offered for the first time in Spring 2016 — will include Master of Business Administration and Information Science Master of Professional Studies from both schools, according to the release. The program aims to fill the need for a workforce that has knowledge of both business analysis and data science, according to the DTI program website.
