The Master of Science (MS) in Statistics
The statistics specialization is designed to train students in the design and application of quantitative models to decision making in business, finance, pharmaceutical and other industries, and government. An MS program and an MBA program are offered through the Department of Statistics and Computer Information Systems. Both provide students with the concepts and skills that form the fundamental base of knowledge essential to statistics professionals in today's sophisticated business environment. The MS program is designed to provide a concentrated, in-depth study of the field for those who wish to be technical specialists in statistics. The program consists of 30 credits of mostly statistics, and some related courses. This distinguishes it from the Statistics MBA program, which requires general business courses and a larger number of credits for graduation. The MS is offered as a full-time and as a part-time program. Full time students are accepted for the Fall semester only.
Note: The requirements below apply to students admitted in spring 2011 or later. Students admitted prior to spring 2011 should consult their faculty advisor, Prof. Ann Brandwein, to see if they are eligible to complete this revised 30-credit MS program.
