Student Experiences
Quantitative Social Sciences Scholars Program
The Quantitative Social Sciences Scholars (QSSS) program provides students with an opportunity to develop quantitative technical skills that they can use to impact society as entrepreneurs, policymakers or social scientists. Under the direction of Mark Patterson , QSSS participants also benefit from a seminar series that brings outstanding and world-renowned educators, scientists and innovators to discuss key topics of interest. In class, Daniel Chia (DC 2026) conducted data analysis for a nonprofit, applying his skills to benefit a real-world client.
“ I had always felt in a bit of a quandary with regard to my academic path. On one hand, I enjoyed the problem-solving process and rigor afforded by quantitative methods. On the other hand, I found much more meaning in work that dealt with and impacted fellow human beings, rather than inanimate machines or numbers. The QSSS program offered the perfect way to marry these two interests together. ” — Daniel Chia
