"At the Carroll School, our clear goal has been constant improvement in all areas of the student experience, especially curriculum and academics in general," said John and Linda Powers Family Dean Andy Boynton. "In recent years we've paid special attention to building our offerings in Business Analytics, investing greatly in the discipline at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It's heartening to see that our efforts in this and many other areas are gaining recognition nationally and internationally."听
