The seventh annual competition, which will be held virtually, is open to all accredited educational institutions based in the United States. Full-time and part-time master’s students from AACSB accredited Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Information Systems, Master of Public Health, Master of Business Administration programs, or other similar master’s programs in business, healthcare, or analytics, are eligible to enter. Students are invited to create teams of two to four students from the same university to work through and develop a solution to a real-world business problem.

Nate Sharp, Dean of Mays Business School, commented on the value of this unique competition: “We are grateful to Humana for their generous sponsorship of this important case competition. This event demonstrates the profound value of data-driven insights in healthcare and provides a platform for bringing together exceptional graduate students from all across the country. Students who participate will see firsthand how analytics are shaping the future—and advancing the frontiers—of healthcare.”

“At Humana, we help the people and the communities we serve achieve their best health, and advanced analytics are an important part of this,” said Scott Bagley, PhD, Vice President of HQRI Technology and Analytics at Humana. Bagley, a Texas A&M alumnus, who has served as a Case Competition Finalist Judge, added, “The real world problems that we provide to the students have become more challenging over the years as healthcare in this country evolves, and it’s exciting to watch innovation in action as these teams from universities across the nation use cutting-edge advanced analytics to take on this challenge.”
