MA/MS in Statistics

This master's degree builds on the idea that mathematics, statistics and computer science underlie data science. Students refine quantitative skills and apply research and analysis to guide decisions across several industries. Faculty research touches pattern recognition, time series, nonparametric and rank-order methods, multivariate methods, statistical foundations and decision theory. Regular colloquia and seminars connect students with speakers across mathematics. Career paths include actuary, biostatistician, clinical data manager and statistician. The program is delivered by Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Prospective graduate students can use the program page to ask for information, begin an application and reach staff or an advisor who can explain courses and requirements.
