MS in Quantitative Methods and Modeling Program Learning Goals
Operations Research & Mathematical Modeling | Students will be able to effectively model, evaluate, and solve quantitative (business) problems using quantitative modeling methods (e.g. deterministic and probabilistic operations research techniques). |
Statistics | Students will be able to correctly apply appropriate statistical methods when defining, solving, and analyzing problems. |
Technology Competency | Students will be able to use current technological tools, including spreadsheets and specialized software, when solving problems. |
Professional Communication | Students will be able to effectively communicate their problem solving methods and solutions to technical and non-technical audiences. |
