Computational and Applied Statistics Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

The Department of Mathematics offers a 15-hour Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Computational and Applied Statistics that provides a formal expertise in statistics at the graduate level and is designed for students willing to expand their statistical knowledge and enhance their expertise in data analysis beyond the undergraduate level.  Students are trained with both a rigorous foundation of the theory of probability and statistics, (including regression analysis and analysis of variance), and in computational component where they learn how to assemble the computational tools needed to solve data-analysis problems. 

The overall objective of the certificate program is to give working professionals the necessary skills to ensure their data-based inferences and decisions are based on sound statistical principles.  When only the certificate is being pursued, it must be completed in three years.
