Master s Thesis in International Affai

Master's Thesis: Intl Aff

Available only to Master of International Affairs students.
The Thesis program is a rigorous, two-semester sequence that enables a select group of students to produce a substantive, publishable piece of original research or policy analysis. Designed for those seeking to strengthen their analytical, methodological, and writing skills, the program culminates in a thesis of at least 35 pages that may take the form of an academic journal article, a policy essay for a broader audience, or a research report suitable for a think tank. A small cohort is admitted each year, combining structured seminars with individualized faculty mentorship to guide students from proposal development through the completion and defense of their final thesis.

The spring writing seminar centers on independent research and writing, with students meeting regularly with the instructor and Faculty-Resource Person and concluding with a final oral defense. Together, the two courses offer an intensive, mentored pathway for students aiming to bridge scholarly research and practical policy application.

(PhD) Foundations of Stochasti

This course covers basic concepts and methods in applied probability and stochastic modeling. The intended audience is master's and doctoral students in programs such as EE, CS, IEOR, Statistics, Mathematics, and those in the DRO division in the Business School. In terms of prerequisites, basic familiarity with probability theory and stochastic processes will be assumed (an ideal preliminary course is IEOR 6711: Stochastic Modeling I, but a more basic substitute will do as well). The topics and material covered in this course complement those covered in IEOR 6712: Stochastic Modeling II, hence the two courses can be taken simultaneously. The exposition will be (mostly) rigorous, yet intentionally skirting some measure-theoretic details; for those interested in such details they can be found in measure theoretic textbooks and other courses (e.g., Probability Theory I/II given in the statistics/math department).

(DRO) Topics Seminar

The purpose of the course is to broadly cover topics in Operations Management and Operations Research, as well as areas of interest to the Decision, Risk, and Operations division at CBS.  It will consist of 3-hour sessions, each on a different topic, with the intent to introduce you to the topic, pique your interest, expose you to the methodologies and research areas people are working on, and help you think about what types of courses to take in the future in order to prepare yourself for this course.  We will ask students to submit a one-page summary of each session or a particular paper discussed in the session.  PhD students are invited to take the course and/or select certain sessions to attend. Spring 2022 Faculty instructors (each teaching one session) will be Mark Broadie,  Paul Glasserman, Fanyin Zheng, Jing Dong, Will Ma, Hongyao Ma.

Scholarly Writing I

This online, self-directed course is the first of two designed to introduce students to scholarly writing and dissemination for clinicians. The course provides students with practical information, exercises, and resources for successful clinical manuscript preparation and clinical conference poster and oral presentation. The course introduces students to fundamental skills for scholarly writing including strategies for identifying topics and constructing clinical questions and understanding how different kinds of clinical questions are best answered by different approaches to scholarly writing. Students learn to differentiate among quality improvement projects, research projects, types of literature reviews, case studies and clinical practice manuscripts. Students utilize electronic resources for literature searches and citation management and develop familiarity with professional journals and conferences in their specialty areas. This course content allows for the synthesis and application of the skills and resources developed over the semester and will serve as the basis for a draft of a scholarly product (manuscript, poster, podium presentation) prepared in Scholarly Writing II. As a result, students are prepared for a lifelong approach to integrating scholarship into clinical practice.

Statistical Practices and Research for I

STAT COLLABORATION FOR IN

The Statistical Practices and Research for Interdisciplinary Sciences (SPRIS, P9185) is a required course for the PhD and DrPH students in the Department of Biostatistics. The goal is to prepare doctoral students to be effective statisticians to collaborate in an interdisciplinary team and to identify novel statistical research problems with important public health and medical applications. The course aims to provide guidelines and insights of the arts and sciences of consulting, collaboration, and translation of statistical methods to medical studies. Practically useful technical skills acquired from previous coursework will be enhanced and illustrated through applications to real world problems in class projects. Important statistical issues currently undergoing extensive debate will be introduced. Examples of conducting original statistical research to develop new methods addressing real world challenges will be discussed. Career-development related topics will be covered to prepare students to become effective independent and interdisciplinary researchers. Class projects will showcase examples of how to analyze real world data.
