Quantitative Sciences Minor
"I personally think there's going to be a greater demand in 10 years for liberal arts majors than there were for programming majors and maybe even engineering, because when the data is all being spit out for you, . . . you need a different perspective in order to have a different view of the data. . . . [S]omeone who is more of a freer thinker."
-Mark Cuban, American Businessman & investor, owner of the Dallas Mavericks
About the QSS Minor
The Quantitative Sciences minor offers Emory students an option to establish or enhance a statistical and computational skill set while pursuing another major program, and without the curricular commitment of a full Quantitative Sciences B.S. degree.
It is suitable for students interested in establishing a statistical and computational skill set while pursuing another major program. This minor is useful for those who intend on pursuing a career in fields that utilize data and data science techniques, as well as those who desire a basic facility with data without the mathematical rigor of QTM's major programs.
The minor consists of 8 courses and 22+ credit hours. QTM 100 is the foundational course for the minor in Quantitative Sciences.
The minor prepares you for:
- Applied Data analysis careers
- Non-data science positions that interface with data and with data science team
