Major Requirements</strong></a></p> </div> </section> <h3 class="heading--auxiliary">Major only</h3><p>Mathematical Analytics and Operations Research addresses a critical need in business for scientifically-trained analysts who can use mathematical models to interpret big data, analyze markets and forecast trends—this major is ideally suited to students with an interest in business or economics. Students will develop the skills to perform data analysis and develop reliable models for forecasting, decision-making and long-term planning in fields ranging from financing to entertainment and education.</p><h3><strong>Real World Outcomes</strong></h3><p>Careers in this field can be found in virtually every industry, and employment growth for operations research analysts is expected to exceed the average for all occupations.
