I was wondering if it's feasible to do public policy work if I were to get a master's in decision support and business analytics? Because of the uncertain job market, I'm trying to do graduate work that is applicable to both public and private sectors.
The course-work for the decision sppt/analytics degree is as follows:
Students must complete 9 credit hours in the following courses:
MGMT 632 Statistical Analysis
MGMT 645 Management Science
OPER 528 Stochastic Simulation
Students must also complete 9 credit hours with three of the following:
MGMT 643 Applied Multivariate Methods
MGMT 648 Managerial Decision Making or OPER 643 Decision and Risk Analysis
MGMT 669 Forecasting Methods for Business
MGMT 675 Operations Management
MGMT 677 Quality Management and Six Sigma
Students also must complete 12 credit hours from the School of Business approved elective list below or from other graduate courses that meet the approval of the faculty adviser.
School of Business approved electives (other business or university graduate courses may be selected that would fit with the student’s interests and career objectives)
