The Business Information and Technology Society (BITS) is a premier student-
run organization at Saint Joseph’s University for students interested in
business intelligence & analytics, decision sciences, information systems, and artificial intelligence.
BITS is dedicated to helping students develop the technical, professional, and

technology landscape. Through networking events, professional workshops,
guest speakers, alumni panels, and company collaborations, members gain
valuable exposure to real-world applications of analytics, AI, consulting,

Our organization connects students with industry professionals and
employers while providing opportunities to explore internships, co-ops, and
full-time careers in analytics, technology, and business strategy. BITS
