商业分析专业添新丁 杜克大学量化管理专业
自从2016年3月份麻省理工大学开设商业分析项目之后,一夜之间,众多学校在2017秋季招生计划中提出开设商业分析专业。特别是美国顶尖名校Duke University杜克大学,公布了今年他们 商学院的新专业---Master of Quantitative Management(MQM)的招生计划。
说起来Duke Fuqua(杜克大学商学院)的历史,最知名的就是MBA了。除此之外还开设了一个管理学硕士MMS,这个项目之前的招生和就业都非常不错。当然今年MQM项目的开设,将有望改变这种申请局面。首先来看看MQM是什么情况呢?

以下是各个方向的简单介绍:

其次呢就是大家特别关注的申请要求,杜克大学没有明确限制申请者的背景,但是学校也提出了建议,即理工科以及数学、商业、经济学专业优先考虑。以下是学校官方说明。
Academic Aptitude and Quantitative Proficiency
The MQM program's academic environment is rigorous, fast-paced, and requires strong quantitative and analytical skills. We evaluate standardized test scores, transcripts, and applicable work experience to gauge an applicant's abi-lity to excel in the program. The Admissions Committee will pay particular attention to the quantitative segment of your test score.
There are no pre-requisite courses for the MQM program, but you must have, or will earn, an undergraduate degree from a 4-year accredited college or university prior to starting the program. It should be in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, business, economics or an equivalent quantitative major.
如果同学们是文科专业背景来申请这个项目,难度还是比较大。毕竟10个月密集完成19门课,数学背景不过关的话,很难坚持到最后的。大家一定慎重考虑。话说背景不够吻合的话,推荐他家的MMS专业,也很靠谱哦!
最后就是大家关注的申请时间,想申请2017年秋季入学的话,这个项目第一轮的截止日期比较早。以下是来自学校的官方介绍。
