Emory University

What you'll study

This undergraduate programme blends core management subjects with quantitative methods and data analysis. Typical modules cover foundational business topics such as organisational behaviour, strategic management and operations, alongside quantitative coursework in statistics, econometrics, optimisation and predictive modelling. Students usually learn practical tools and languages for analysis (for example, Python or R), database concepts, and data visualisation. The curriculum often includes a methods-focused course in research design and applied analytics, an operations management sequence that addresses process improvement and supply‑chain topics, and a capstone or practicum project that applies quantitative techniques to a business problem.

Entry requirements

Successful applicants show strong academic achievement with particular strengths in mathematics and analytical subjects. Typical admissions materials include a completed undergraduate application, secondary school transcripts, and personal essays describing interests and goals. Emory considers recommendations from teachers or counsellors and may place emphasis on coursework such as calculus, statistics or other quantitative classes. Standardised test submission policies vary; applicants should check the university’s current guidance. Relevant extracurriculars, work experience or independent projects in data analysis or business can strengthen an application.

Career prospects

Graduates are well positioned for roles where quantitative analysis informs organisational decisions. Common entry-level jobs include business analyst, data analyst, operations analyst, supply‑chain analyst and roles in consulting, finance and technology. The skill set also supports careers in product management, market research, risk management and policy analysis. Many students go on to graduate study in areas such as analytics, operations research, business (MBA) or economics.
