Quantitative Methods and Modeling
The Master of Science (MS) in Quantitative Methods and Modeling
The MS in quantitative methods and modeling program is designed to provide a broad spectrum of basic quantitative skills; thus, the required specialization courses span the areas of operations research, statistics, and computer information systems. The flexible elective requirements permit the creation of a four-course quantitative sequence tailored to a student's professional and/or educational objectives. Students also have the option of doing a graduate internship. The list of preliminary and specialization courses in given below.
Note: The requirements below apply to students aditted in fall 2012 or later. Students admitted prior to fall 2012 should consult their faculty advisor, Prof. Harel or the Office of MS Programs, to see if they are eligible to pursue this revised program.
