Quantitative and Data Literacy (QD)

Since data analysis drives research in academic disciplines and decision-making in applied contexts, it is critical that students have experience manipulating and drawing conclusions from data sets. QD-designated courses demonstrate and apply quantitative approaches within a disciplinary context, ensuring that students are able to extract meaning from data-rich information and to apply appropriate analytical tools in assessing that meaning. 

Students are required to take 1 QD course.
