Why UA?

The Graduate School and the Applied Statistics Program offer the degrees of doctor of philosophy and master of science in applied statistics. These degree programs are interdisciplinary and offer maximum flexibility. Students are permitted to specialize in several areas of statistics and statistical applications. All students are encouraged to develop their own interests. The program of courses may vary from student to student depending on the student’s interest, academic background, and career plans. The student’s program is supervised by a committee of statisticians on the University faculty. Enrollment in advanced courses is small, and students work in close association with the faculty.

The Applied Statistics Program offers general courses in probability, mathematical statistics, Bayesian and classical statistical methods, and specialized courses in topics such as linear models, experimental design, nonparametric statistics, multivariate analysis, probability, statistical computing, and quality control. Interdisciplinary fields of study may be chosen from various related subjects including psychometrics, econometrics, finance, marketing, management information systems, mathematics, operations research, and computer science.
