Because decision science relies heavily on quantitative analysis, it is no surprise the computer plays an important role. The computer is used in gathering and analyzing data and in performing the sophisticated calculations often encountered in implementing some of the techniques used in decision science. However, you will not just learn how to manipulate the computer, you will be able to apply computer technology to concrete problems. Because these courses are both quantitative and computer-oriented, they make excellent free electives for students who are majoring in science, mathematics, or computer science. These courses build on the skills gained in those majors and broaden the student's experience by providing specific applications for those skills.
Seniors often find that recruiters look favorably on applications courses.
These courses do have prerequisites, so you should contact the decision science department to determine whether you have met them. This page is an official publication of Shippensburg University. A proud member of The State System of Higher Education .
