Business administration and quantitative science

专业详情

In an increasingly data-driven world, data influences all aspects of society, from our careers to our roles as citizens to our private lives. The business world is at the forefront of this data revolution; to thrive in this environment, you must be able to work with data, draw well-reasoned inferences from it, and effectively communicate your discoveries to broader audiences.

What is the BBA + QSS Program?

The Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods (QTM) in Emory College and the Bachelor of Business Administration program in the Goizueta Business School offer a BBA with a secondary major in QSS. Students are required to complete the BBA program plus a secondary QSS major. The secondary major consists of the requisite QTM coursework and additional business coursework.

Students choose three QTM elective courses to expand their quantitative knowledge. Topics covered in QSS major electives may include advanced statistics, technical writing, data science computing, text analysis, game theory, generalized linear model, time series analysis, experimental methods, and more.

In addition to QTM courses, students complete a minimum of six business courses to complete the secondary QSS major. Courses for this portion of the secondary major include electives in the areas of Accounting, Finance, Information Systems & Operations Management, Marketing, or Strategy & Management Consulting.

Is BBA + QSS Right for Me?

This partnership couples the rigor of the BBA program with a second major in Quantitative Sciences. The BBA + QSS co-major requires meticulous schedule-planning starting freshman year, and is only available to students admitted to the Goizueta BBA Program. The purpose of this degree program is to enhance the quantitative and analytic preparation of students choosing to study business at Emory. As the functional fields of business including marketing analytics, strategy and management consulting, decision analysis/operations and finance, are increasingly driven by data and quantitative analysis, it is imperative that BBA students are sufficiently prepared in quantitative methods. It is also suitable for those interested in graduate training in business.
