The SAS Academic Programme for Students

PREPARING FOR A CAREER USING SAS®

Analytical skills are in ever-increasing demand in the international marketplace. SAS is the world leader in providing Business Intelligence software and services, so it's not surprising that job web sites worldwide now increasingly specify SAS skills as a pre-requisite.

For more than three decades, SAS has partnered with educational institutions around the world to help give students the skills and knowledge they need to become tomorrow's leaders. The Global SAS® Academic Program actively supports students who are using SAS technologies through a number of popular programs at little to no cost.
