Field of Study: Advanced Quantitative Methodologies

Program Overview

Weatherhead School of Management's Graduate Certificate in Advanced Quantitative Methodologies (AQM) offers a unique opportunity for current graduate students at Case Western Reserve University to specialize in advanced analytics for applied research and study.

Quantitative methodologies are techniques for systematic empirical investigation of behavioral phenomena using statistical, mathematical, numerical or computational approaches. These techniques may operate on structured numerical or unstructured text data.

Skills in quantitative methodologies prepare graduate students for conducting and publishing scholarly research while fostering a learning environment that motivates original research across many social science disciplines with a behavioral focus.
