Luke Wagoner - Data Scientist

"The UNO graduate economics program helped me to develop my skill set, become highly competitive in the labor force and facilitate a career change. The professors taught economic principles and analytical and programming skills to apply those principles effectively in my business and personal life. Several of the course projects analyzed real-world problems which allowed me to build a portfolio of work to show potential employers. Plenty of networking opportunities were provided. Following my graduation I was able to secure the role I desired when entering the program within 6 months. Financially, the program has paid for itself very quickly."
