PGCert in Statistics

This graduate certificate is aimed at current practitioners who want to upgrade their skills. The federal statistical system depends on many multidisciplinary skills to collect and analyze data, and the certificate responds with wide-ranging instruction in statistics, survey techniques and data analysis, with attention to graphics and visual presentation of data. Its structure is adaptable, letting students shape it around their work in federal statistics. Core courses cover applied statistics with visualization for analytics and a first course in applied statistics, and students then choose further credits from options such as biostatistical methods and applied statistical learning. Some courses have prerequisites beyond the minimum admission requirements, which students must satisfy or have waived by the instructor. Applicants need an accredited undergraduate degree with a strong overall grade point average, and study is part time only.
