The Statistics  department offers the Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics to recognize the preparation and proficiency of non-majors in data analysis in a wide variety of subject matter areas. Graduate students in a variety of academic disciplines are conducting research that requires knowledge in applied statistics. Such students may wish to demonstrate proficiency in applied statistics as it may be useful when looking for meaningful employment opportunities, in addition to helping them become better researchers in their chosen fields. In order to strengthen their educational programs and the quality of graduate education, a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics has been developed.

Note:


A maximum of three credit hours can be earned from coursework taken outside the Department of Statistics, either in another department on campus or at another university. Persons wishing to apply such credits will gain approval from the director of the certificate program. Courses so approved must clearly be of an applied statistics nature, of a duration commensurate with the number of credit hours claimed on the certificate, and at a graduate level (under no circumstances will undergraduate courses be considered). Persons seeking for this exception will need to supply such information as deemed necessary by the director for such approval.
