The admissions committee is looking for applicants with an academic background in disciplines such as business, finance, logistics/supply chain, marketing, statistics, economics, or other STEM-related majors. Since quantitative coursework will be reviewed by the admissions committee, it is important to demonstrate competence in quantitative subjects from your academic transcripts.
