QSS 15 poster session

On Monday, November 18, students in QSS 15: Introduction to Data Analysis presented posters for the final culmination of their quarter-long group projects. Each group of 3-5 students collected their own data. While project guidelines required that students use an experimental approach where they randomized treatment assignment, each group decided what topic to study, how to collect data, how to design an intervention, and how to communicate the results at the poster session.

On Thursday, September 12, 2024, the Program in Quantitative Social Science (QSS) held its annual Open House.  This event introduces QSS to incoming Dartmouth students, and it was standing room only in Haldeman Center 41. Professor Michael Herron, Chair of QSS, along with other faculty and members of the QSS Steering Committee, were present at the Open House to address students' questions about the program’s major and minor and how the program offers a contemporary version of a traditional liberal arts education.
