MS in Statistics
The statistics specializations are designed to train students in the application of mathematical models and decision making in business, industry, 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 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 structure is designed for this purpose in that it consists primarily of statistics and related courses as opposed to the general business courses also included in the MBA program. The MS is offered as a full-time and a part-time program.
