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.

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.

The person asking for this exception will need to supply such information as deemed necessary by the director for such approval, possibly including syllabus and identification of textbook used.
