About

ABOUT

The MS-Applied Data Science for Business (MSADSB) at Portland State University's School of Business prepares working professionals to lead in the age of AI and digital transformation. What sets us apart is people. Our faculty are seasoned practitioners who bring their networks into the classroom and open doors that textbooks can't. Our capstone connects students directly to real industry challenges. And our alumni are an active, growing force in the Portland business community and beyond. This is practical education with real-world stakes.

WHAT WE'RE FUNDRAISING FOR
We are growing our fund to support MSADSB students and alumni.

Your gift can help support initiatives such as these - with any additional funds to support the MS-Applied Data Science for Business general program.
(1) Emergency hardship support for students in their final term who hit an unexpected financial wall
(2) Summer preview courses that let prospective students experience the MSADSB before fully committing
(3) Alumni engagement events that reconnect our graduates with current students and the industry connections that make this program exceptional.

Ketan and Vera have personally seeded this fund with $5,000 in matching gifts. Every dollar you give is doubled until the match is fully claimed.


YOUR IMPACT

$50 Pay It Forward Your gift can help a student cover an unexpected cost, the kind of small gap that shouldn't derail a big goal.

$100 Open the Door Your gift can help fund a summer preview course, giving a prospective student a glimpse of the MSADSB program before fully committing.

$250 Deepen the Roots Your gift can help support events where alumni, current students, and industry come together to create the spark of new connection and open up possibility.

$1,000 Shape What's Next Your gift can support a scholarship for students who have the drive and ambition, but lack the financial resources make it happen.
