sydbarrett74 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) 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) ACCT 608 Managerial Accounting Concepts ECON 610 Managerial Economics ECON 612 Econometrics ECON 641 Econometric Time-series Analysis FIRE 629 Real Estate Investment Analysis FIRE 635 Investments and Security Analysis INFO 610 Analysis and Design of Database Systems INFO 611 Data Engineering INFO 614 Data MiningINFO 616 Data Warehousing MGMT 642 Business Policy MGMT 697 Guided Study in Management MKTG 673 Marketing Research Note: Students may also take the remaining course from the list above (MGMT 643, MGMT 648 or OPER 643, MGMT 669, MGMT 675 or MGMT 677) to count as an elective.

mppgal55 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Just for informational purposes: Carnegie Mellon's MSPPM (Public policy and management) includes coursework in management science, optimization, managerial methods, quantitative analysis, decision modeling, financial analysis, etc. It may be worth looking into for you.
