Certificate Overview
Statistics is the science of collection, organization, analysis, and explanation of data. In this series of four courses, students gain an introduction to probability and statistical theory, a two-term sequence on data analysis, and additional training in multivariate analysis, spatial analysis, or environmental statistics.
This Applied Statistics and Data Analysis Certificate provides professionals and graduate students in diverse fields with a short-term training program to improve their statistical and data analysis skills.
This certificate is a companion to the Statistics Master's Degree and certificate courses can be applied toward that degree.
