Felician University

What you'll study

The programme blends management theory with quantitative tools. Core study areas include micro- and macro-economics, financial accounting, organisational behaviour and strategic management alongside mathematics, probability and statistics, forecasting, optimisation and decision analysis. Students learn programming and data-handling skills relevant to business—such as spreadsheet modelling, database querying, and introductory scripting for analytics—plus courses in operations research, supply chain management and business intelligence.

Typical modules and topics you can expect include:

• Introductory and Intermediate Statistics — probability, estimation, hypothesis testing and regression analysis applied to business problems.
• Quantitative Methods for Management — linear programming, sensitivity analysis, decision trees and simulation techniques.
• Operations and Supply Chain Management — process analysis, inventory control, scheduling and logistics.
• Financial and Management Accounting — interpreting financial statements and using accounting data for managerial decisions.
• Business Analytics and Data Visualisation — data cleaning, visual presentation, and use of analytics tools for insight generation.
• Economics and Strategy — market analysis, competitive strategy and policy considerations.
• Capstone/Project — applied project or internship where students solve a real-world management problem using quantitative methods.

The curriculum emphasises experiential learning: case studies, team projects, software labs and opportunities for internships with regional businesses and organisations. Elective choices allow students to deepen quantitative skills or broaden into areas such as finance, marketing analytics or healthcare management.

Entry requirements

Felician looks for applicants with a solid secondary-school foundation, particularly in mathematics. Typical academic requirements include a recognised high school diploma or equivalent with good grades in maths. Successful applicants often have coursework in algebra, geometry and preferably calculus or statistics.

Other factors considered in admissions include personal statements, letters of recommendation, and any evidence of quantitative aptitude or related extracurricular experience (for example, participation in maths clubs, business competitions, or internships). Transfer applicants are assessed on college transcripts and transferable credits. International applicants must meet Felician's English-language competence requirements.

Applicants with non-traditional backgrounds or incomplete prerequisites may be admitted conditionally and asked to complete foundational mathematics or statistics coursework before progressing to advanced modules.

Career prospects

Graduates are equipped for roles that combine business knowledge with analytical skills. Common entry-level job titles include business analyst, data analyst, operations analyst, supply chain coordinator and financial analyst. The programme also supports careers in consulting, risk management, pricing analyst roles and roles in technology firms that require quantitative business insight.

Graduates often work in industries such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, logistics and government. The degree also provides a strong foundation for further study—master’s degrees in business analytics, management, finance, operations research or related quantitative fields are natural next steps for students pursuing advanced technical or managerial careers.
