Master of Science [M.S] [Applied Statistics] From New Jersey Institute of Technology

 A statistician develops and analyzes models of data-driven situations where uncertainty of the outcomes plays a major role, identifies statistical relationships among observable variables, forecasts probable future outcomes, and draws inferences about background parameters that impact the phenomenon of interest. Thus the program is designed to provide students with the comprehensive knowledge and technical skills that are needed for the planning, execution, and analysis of statistical studies. These statistical studies are increasingly used as advisory instruments for policy decisions in the corporate and other sectors of the economy.

The Master of Science in Applied Statistics program will serve the needs of students with a baccalaureate degree who are planning to work in industry, commerce, or education, as well as practicing engineers and others already employed in industry and commerce. The program also strengthens the analytical and quantitative skills of graduate students who may be interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in Applied Probability and Statistics, since it equips them with basic training in the foundations of statistics in preparation for further advanced studies and research.
