Statistics and Quantitative Modeling
BBA in Statistics and Quantitative Modeling
The
statistics and quantitative modeling major is designed to develop
quantitative thinking skills that are invaluable in business. The
student will take courses from a variety of quantitative disciplines
that focus extensively on statistical methodology, mathematical
modeling, and computer implementation issues applied to business. The
use of the computer for the solution and analysis of business problems
is an integral part of the program. Graduates of this program will have
a broad foundation in statistics or quantitative modeling and will be
well positioned for the analysis and solution of decision problems
facing business and industry in the 21st century.
It is essential that the student consult with an area advisor to plan a program prior to taking any courses in the major
