In the past we could admit all students who fulfilled these requirements. Should there be too much demand, we would admit students based on their performance in the above courses, and based on whether they have taken other relevant courses, undergraduate or graduate. This includes marketing, psychology, or econometrics/statistics. Hence, you should apply with a list of relevant courses and grades. The master’s theses in this area are all empirical, and typically experimental. We presuppose that by the time you take this course (31953-01) you have learned to subject your raw data to basic statistical analyses, such as, ANOVA or multiple regression. You are free to use any standard software (e.g., R, Stata, SPSS).
