MS in Statistical Science

The Master's in Statistical Science (MSS) is a 2-year graduate degree program that provides a modern, comprehensive education in statistical theory, methods and computation. Courses and projects emphasize stochastic model-based approaches to problems of inference and prediction, highlighting Bayesian and machine learning methods. Students develop skills and expertise in modeling complex and potentially massive data sets and advanced computational methods while gaining exposure to a broad range of application contexts. The MSS is attractive to students interested in professional careers in industry, business and government, as well as those interested in bridging to PhD studies in statistics and related areas.
