The Master of Science in Statistics 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. The MS program provides students with the concepts and skills that form the fundamental base of knowledge essential to statistics professionals in today's sophisticated business environment including the technical background and capabilities required for the newer approaches to overall business analytics and data mining. 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. Students completing the MS degree successfully go on to careers as statisticians and sometimes continue to pursue a Ph.D. in statistics. The MS is a 31.5 credit program consisting largely of statistics courses and some related business courses which can be completed either part-time or full-time. The MS program conforms with the DHS - STEM program so that international students who graduate from the MS program may be eligible for an additional 24-month extension on their optional practical training (OPT).
Note that BUS 9551 is effective for all MS-Statistics students admitted in spring 2016 or later. Students admitted prior to spring 2016 should consult their preliminary course evaluation and/or waiver exam results, since other requirements and conditions may apply. |
