Advanced Quantitative Methodologies, Graduate Certificate
Credential: Graduate Certificate
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.
Program Requirements
To qualify for the Advanced Quantitative Methodologies certificate, students must complete three requirements:
- Successfully complete five, 3 credit hour approved quantitative methods courses offered on the Case Western Reserve campus, for a total of 15 credit hours.
- Obtain an average grade point of 3.5 or higher in the approved courses for this certificate.
- Take at least one course each from approved Sets A and B.
Approved Courses
There are three sets of courses available toward this certificate. Students must take one course each from Sets A and B; otherwise, any combination of courses from Sets A, B, or C qualify for the certificate.
