finance executives and found that data-driven finance has become a top priority for corporate finance and accounting teams around the world. However, just 23% feel they have the data and analytics capabilities they need to drive real-time insights and deliver strategic advice to their organizations. For Queens, the program helps further establish its


Graduate School, a priority set out in the university’s Strategic Framework plan for growth. The plan describes creating a Graduate School that will “develop new approaches to meeting the needs of the Charlote workforce.” “This program is a unique addition to the Queens


Graduate School, since it is entirely focused on building workers who can meet the unique demands of the finance industry’s big data sets,” says Melissa McCartney, Ed.D.,


associate provost for digital learning and dean of the Queens University Graduate School. “The connection to Charlote’s high-level executives helps ensure students will be equipped to find a job aſter graduation, and we think it's going to make a big shiſt in the Charlote business industry.” Throneburg — who says she could have benefited from a


program like this 15 years ago when she was researching post- graduate options — agrees. “The program is going to help produce graduates that


have the quantitative and the qualitative skills so they can do the data side as well as help interpret it,” she says. “When someone is looking to go into a career in analytics, they can see this career, they can see this degree, and really understand how they can apply it to their world.”
