Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods

The Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods is committed to promoting quantitative training in undergraduate education. QuanTM is focused on engaging Emory's undergraduate students with a number of initiatives, as well as engaging high school students interested in future quantitative study. QuanTM currently offers a new college-wide instructional resources in quantitative methodology and an undergraduate research fellows program.

The Institute also offers a number of programs designed to support faculty and graduate students interested in quantitative theory and methodology. Each year the Institute supports several visiting pre- and post-doctoral fellowships. For faculty interested in developing quantitative skills, QuanTM also offers a competitive skill-building leave program. Finally, faculty and graduate students in need of statistical consulting are welcome to use QuanTM's statistics help desk.
