Are applicants expected to have taken coursework in mathematics and statistics?
No, students are not required to have taken courses in quantitative methods. In fact, the department offers introductory courses in quantitative methods that introduce first-year students to methodological tools that they can later use in their chosen fields of study. Opportunities to pursue advanced work in quantitative methods exist both within and outside the department (e.g., taking courses in the Stern School and in the economics department).
