Oklahoma State University Data Mining Team
captured second place at recent data mining shootout. Normally such news would be considered insignificant, except:
….All students on the second-place team are enrolled via distance learning in the graduate certificate in business data mining program in the Spears School of Business. The students receiving honorable mentions are full-time master’s degree students from management information systems, MBA and industrial engineering disciplines, and all are enrolled in the data mining certificate program, which is a core component of the MIS degree….
Quite an achievement. This second-place showing truly highlights all the great attributes about collaboration, especially considering the typical distributed nature of distance learning students.
