The Master of Applied Statistics, Plan C, Statistical Science Specialization emphasizes practical methods in statistics, focusing on applications and computational aspects rather than theory. The goal of this degree is to enable students to start working as practicing statisticians in industry or government immediately after graduation. Students receive a strong background in statistical computing while completing this degree. Full-time students complete the M.A.S. degree in less than a year; however, this degree may also be completed part-time, either online or on campus. Students who succeed in the field of statistics typically have strong quantitative skills, analytical minds, and like to help others solve problems.
