Description

The Management Science major focuses on the application of analytical techniques, tools, and models across the school’s academic disciplines. Students will deepen expertise across disciplines by learning techniques that can be applied to the analysis of problems of business organization and performance.

This critical coursework will prepare students to both manage and direct analyses to improve decisions. Students who major in Management Science will be prepared for a wide range of careers including consulting, technology, finance, and entrepreneurship.
