Be competitive in today’s world of data science by combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Learn and master techniques for collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, and gain valuable experience defining and solving problems in practical settings.

American University’s Master of Science in Statistics is an excellent way to further your mathematical education, prepare for a doctoral program, or gain the expertise to advance your career. In this program, you will develop proficiency in the development, research, and analysis of quantitative tools to turn ideas into intelligent, informed actions. Incoming students can qualify for merit awards as Graduate Assistants or Research Assistantships to gain experience. We offer two different tracks to help you match your course of study to your intellectual and professional goals. The mathematical statistics track is for those intending to pursue a Ph.D. in statistics, while the applied statistics track is perfect for those intending to use their statistical expertise in the workplace. Whichever track you follow, AU’s MS in Statistics is your key to success.

Created in 1989, the Applied Statistics Program at Syracuse University is an interdisciplinary program within the College of Arts and Sciences that includes faculty from computer and information science, management, mathematics, psychology, and the social sciences, among others. The program offers an undergraduate concentration in applied statistics, sponsors a speakers series that hosts visiting statisticians and scientists, and offers a master’s degree in applied statistics.

The Master of Science in Statistics program is ideal for students who are preparing for professional positions or doctoral programs in statistics and other quantitative fields. Thesis and non-thesis options are available, and students may enroll full-time or part-time. Use of statistical software packages, available in all university computer labs, is required for most courses.

Apply the skills learned in statistical analysis to a variety of industries, including insurance, marketing, government, health care, and more.

A Master of Science in Applied Statistics and Data Analytics (MASDA) degree from the Department of Statistical Science at SMU prepares you with the statistical foundation and critical thinking skills to tackle today’s problems and those that don’t even exist today. If you have a background that is strong in mathematics, this degree program can help you take the next step to advance into this new and highly sought-after field.

With an emphasis on mathematical foundations and their modeling and numerical counterparts, this MSE in Applied Mathematics and Statistics is staffed with outstanding faculty who are leaders in their field. They are creating interdisciplinary solutions inspired by problems arising in engineering, and the physical, biological, information, and social sciences. In this program, you will explore, answer questions, and be ready to solve problems in a multitude of industries as a professional, including finance, government, law medicine, and national defense.

It's a great time to be doing graduate studies in statistics! The astonishing amount of data being collected today is literally transforming science and the skills of statisticians are in demand more than ever. The M.S. in Statistical Science degree is intended to prepare a student for a career as a professional statistician working in business, government, or industry.

The goal of the master's degree programs in Statistics is to provide students with a sound foundation in probability, mathematical statistics, and statistical methodology. The degree may be earned under either Plan A (with thesis) or Plan B (without thesis). If Plan A is chosen, a student needs to find a thesis advisor. To distinguish this degree from the degree in Applied Statistics, we refer to it as the "regular MS degree".

Actuaries are professionals who use their strong quantitative skills to place a price on risk. Pricing risk allows insurance companies to provide coverage against various loss events, occurrences that can range from a tree falling on a house to a satellite launch failing to a cargo ship sinking.

This program is designed to provide the student with competency in the major areas of statistical and mathematical application, working knowledge of mathematical and/or statistical software, and sufficient theoretical background to serve as a foundation for continued professional development.

Applied statisticians are in high demand in the current high technology economy. The Master of Science in Applied Statistics is a state-of-the-art program that brings together statistical theory, computer science, scientific research, and communication skills. This program prepares students for immediate employment in a variety of high-paying industry positions, as well as doctoral study in applied statistics or a related field. The M.S. in Applied Statistics at WCU emphasizes a flexible curriculum that allows a wide variety of concentrations of application, including biology, mathematics, computer science, psychology, health sciences, business, pharmaceutical product development, and other self-designed multidisciplinary concentrations. The Program also offers paid internship opportunities and flexible class offerings allowing for both full-time and part-time students. Due to our program’s interdisciplinary foundation, we encourage students from diverse academic backgrounds to consider the M.S. in Applied Statistics. Prominent statisticians serve as visiting lecturers on topics of current interest in applied statistics. Students who are interested in particular topics can pursue intensive study with faculty members through a thesis option.

Develop advanced skills to analyze complex data sets, design large studies, work with data using the latest statistical software, and design effective research methodologies. In the Applied Statistics and Research Methods program at UNC, you’ll gain highly marketable skills you can apply to diverse careers through a course of study that moves beyond theory, emphasizing hands-on experience and practical applications of technical skills.

The Department of Statistics offers graduate work leading to MS and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics. Students can concentrate on theory or applications, and programs can be tailored to emphasize such areas of interest as ecology, engineering, forestry, genetics/genomics and computational biology, mathematics, or oceanography. All students obtain experience as statistical consultants for problems in a variety of areas, including agriculture, biology, forestry, exercise physiology, and engineering. Students interested in environmental sciences have the opportunity to obtain experience both in and outside the classroom with statistical methods for environmental data.

Statistics is a thriving field that develops and tests tools for data collection, modeling, and analysis. Statistical methods and practices are ubiquitous in all the sciences and society at large, especially in this age of ever-increasing reliance on digital technology.
