Foundations of Quantitative Business Analysis

Synopsis

Foundations of Quantitative Methods for Business is a self-paced, asynchronous course designed in a modular format. The course content includes basic mathematics and algebra as an introduction to statistics content. The course content has a business focus and includes scenario-based learning.

To complete the course, the student must demonstrate the ability to:

  1. Use algebra to solve business applications.
  2. Apply mathematical functions to everyday business transactions,
  3. Interpret linear relationships in business applications.
  4. Interpret descriptive statistics in business applications.
  5. Apply probability methods to business situations.
  6. Solve business application problems involving random variables.
  7. Solve business application problems using the standard normal probability distribution.

The course will consist of 7 modules that will be available in a self-paced format. The PROPEL structure is listed below and will be repeated in each module. Each module will require 1-3 hours to complete; however, students will have the opportunity to exempt themselves from modules via the pretest; therefore, it is anticipated that most students will complete the course in 5-10 hours.

Prove it (pre-test): could exempt student from module content with a minimum score
Relate it: connect the topic to business applications based on a company scenario threaded through all the topic areas
Obtain it: self-paced, interactive instruction in the topic and subtopic content
Ponder it: apply the content to the company in the scenario
Establish it: summary and review of the topic and subtopic content
Level it (post-test): topic evaluation

Certify it (final assessment): after completing all modules, the student can earn a course certificate with successful completion of the final assessment.
