Statistics - Montclair State University

Statistics from Montclair State University is a Campus Master Statistics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a Master of Science degree in Statistics and a Master of Science degree in Mathematics with a Statistics concentration. The Department of Computer Science offers the Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Applied Statistics . The degrees with concentrations in statistics are discussed under degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science respectively. The MS in Statistics has been developed for students interested in becoming practitioners of statistics, who are trained in statistical methodology. The programs emphasize the foundations and concepts of statistics as well as the new and developing areas of statistics. Though the applications of statistical sciences are emphasized, the theoretical foundations are presented as well. Specifically, students are prepared for professional work in the design and analysis of statistical models, development and analysis of statistical models, data analytic techniques and the associated computational methods, and statistical computing. The curriculum is designed to allow students to develop the skills needed to achieve positions in the many pharmaceutical, chemical, health services, public service and consumer product corporations and other industries that require significant research and development efforts as well as data analysis. Through the accessibility of computers and the availability of powerful statistical software to analyze huge data sets, the use of statistical methods has now become quite widespread in many industries. The MS in Statistics is of interest to undergraduate mathematics majors looking for challenging career paths that apply their problem solving skills to important social, health, medical and business issues; undergraduate statistics majors who feel the need to expand their knowledge; people currently working as statistical assistants; people trained in biology, chemistry, physics or medicine who are involved in the analysis of experiments; and computer scientists who are involved in data analysis. Our statistics faculty is active at the national and local level of professional societies and consult for Fortune 500 companies. Occasionally we bring in statistical scientists from local telecommunications or pharmaceutical firms to present courses on special topics in new and developing areas of statistics. The Statistical Consulting Program, housed in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, offers the campus community and off-campus clients statistical advice in the design of experiments and studies as well as the analysis and interpretation of the results. This program also offers MS students the opportunity to obtain applied experience by becoming involved in the data collection, analysis and interpretation of ongoing projects. In addition, our proximity to the pharmaceutical industry permits students the exciting option of an applied industrial experience, working under the supervision of a practicing statistician and a Graduate Program Coordinator.
