Curriculum Overview

The 30-credit M.S. in Applied Statistics turns rigorous statistical theory into market-ready expertise, preparing graduates to solve high-stakes problems in finance, medicine, technology, and AI. Core courses build mastery in Computational Statistics and Probability, Multivariate Analysis, Non-Parametric Statistical Learning, and Data Acquisition and Management — developing the analytical depth that separates statisticians who understand their models from those who simply run them.
