FAQs about the new QNT 2020 Course
- We are piloting a new course (QNT 2020 – Foundations of Predictive Analytics and Decision Modeling) during the Fall 2020-Spring 2021 academic year. Here is the tentative syllabus for the course.
- Students can use this course in lieu of their calculus requirement. Instead of calculus, the grade earned in QNT 2020 will be used to calculate the student’s pre-business GPA for admission into Zicklin.
- This option is available only for students completing this course in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021.
- NOTE: Calculus is a liberal arts course, whereas QNT 2020 is a business course, so students will need to make up the number of liberal arts credits.
- We are offering only a limited number of seats. Enrollment is on a first-come first-served basis.
Here are answers to some FAQs:
|
I was previously denied admission to Zicklin. Can I take QNT 2020 so calculus is not calculated into my pre-business GPA and seek readmission into Zicklin? |
No. Students who were denied admission into Zicklin are NOT eligible to take QNT 2020 for admission into Zicklin. |
|
If I failed calculus, can I take QNT 2020 instead? |
Yes. You can use QNT 2020 in lieu of the calculus requirement. This option is available only for students completing this course in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. |
|
If I failed calculus and take QNT 2020, would I get a F replacement for calculus? |
No. QNT 2020 cannot be used for calculus grade replacement. If you want to get a grade replacement, you must retake calculus. |
|
If I fail or withdraw QNT 2020, can I go back and take calculus? |
Yes, but you cannot replace the F in QNT 2020 using your grade from calculus. Your Baruch GPA will still include the F in QNT 2020. |
|
If I previously failed calculus and I’m now going to take QNT 2020, will my F in calculus be factored into my pre-business GPA? |
Yes. For students who previously failed calculus and pass QNT 2020, both the F in calculus and the grade in QNT 2020 will count towards the pre-business GPA. |
|
I could not enroll in QNT 2020 during Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. Can I complete QNT 2020 later and use it in lieu of calculus? |
No. This option is only available if you complete QNT 2020 in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. |
|
If I already passed calculus and accepted into Zicklin, can I take QNT 2020 as an elective? |
Yes. QNT 2020 can be taken as a business elective OR free elective. |
