Overview
Data-driven strategies encourage business growth and efficiency while promoting a competitive edge for organizations to thrive through incisive insights based on empirical evidence.
Business analysis requires the skill sets needed to identify business needs, business environments, markets, and competitors, enabling students to develop corresponding solutions that may affect business growth. Quantitative business analysis takes a deeper dive by employing statistical methods to analyze, identify, and draw conclusions about the relationships between current and future variables. This enables organizations to study and understand prevailing trends and patterns, predict future developments, and comprehend how different factors can affect outcomes for greater business profitability.
The goal of this course is to provide students with the quantitative tools and analytical rigor needed for business analytics. In this course, students will strengthen their understanding of foundational statistical methods such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and stochastic modeling. They will also learn how quantitative techniques can transform seemingly difficult and ambiguous problems into clearly defined and easily answered questions. Additionally, students will learn how AI can act as a force multiplier for analytics.

Class Structure
Asynchronous
Before the first live session and between sessions, students will watch short video lectures and complete brief homework assignments to strengthen their classroom learnings.
Live Sessions
There will be a review discussion of the asynchronous content at the beginning of each class. Following this, students will work on in-class analytics projects and participate in interactive simulations.
