Curious why you're starting with Data Analytics and BI, @AdamBraun. What other trades are you considering?

@rrhoover Great question Ryan, our first major is Data Analytics + Business Intelligence because it's the functional area we heard most from employers across every single industry that was a tremendous need. McKinsey did a study and projected a shortage of 1.5M analysts and managers by 2018 will lack those needed skills, and after hearing that reinforced by so many of our employer partners (Lyft, Warby, Uber, Harry's, Casper, etc) it was the clear choice as a first major.
Eventually we'll add other majors, I'm personally interested in some of the emerging roles in the health field but we'll be open to the demands of industry.
