Effective Spring 2018 - students entering in Fall 2017 may opt to follow this new curriculum. MS students following an earlier curriculum should contact their program advisor at ZicklinMSPrograms@baruch.cuny.edu or review the appropriate bulletin for the year they entered.

A high priority for many organizations today is the transformation of an enormous amount of available data into usable information.  Consequently, many companies are looking for individuals who are well-versed in modeling, statistical analysis, and computer information systems as the job market for people who have the ability to deal effectively with information is expanding at a tremendous pace.  The Master of Science in Quantitative Methods and Modeling  program is designed to provide a broad spectrum of basic quantitative skills; thus, the required specialization courses span the areas of operations research, statistics, and computer information systems. The flexible elective requirements permit the creation of a four-course quantitative sequence tailored to a student's professional and/or educational objectives. Students also have the option of doing a graduate internship. The MS program conforms with the DHS - STEM program so that international students who graduate from the MS/QMM program may be eligible for an additional 24-month extension on their optional practical training (OPT).
