Concentrations
Darden faculty created the following concentration to help Second Year students interested in quantitative analysis to develop course plans:
Business Analytics
This business analytics concentration will prepare students to participate in organizations that make abundant use of data/quantitative/mathematical techniques ("data science") as part of their business processes. It is a more general version of the “Marketing” concentration in that the areas of application are more than marketing. We expect completion of this concentration to be a useful signal to potential employers of the analytic and quantitative abilities of the student. Faculty Contact: Robert Carraway.
