Preparatory Study-Management Analysis
This two-week course is designed to prepare students for many of the courses that lie ahead by reviewing and developing fundamental concepts in Mathematics, Excel, Economics and Statistics.

Students are first presented with examples from Economics, Finance, and Marketing before developing the quantitative skills needed to find solutions to problems in those fields.
