skill professionals must possess in the
modern data-rich business world. QL
involves enhancing number sense,
understanding functional relationships,
and making informed decisions after
analyzing evidence. You must understand
mathematics and statistics to have a solid
QL foundation. Students learn
problem-solving analysis, mathematical,
inferential, and data-analytic skills that
are essential for specialists in various

finance, economics, biology, engineering,
operations research, geophysics, market
