Why the M.S. Degree in Statistics?
The M.S. Degree in Statistics at Newton is designed to prepare students for statistics and data science positions in industry, government, educational organizations, consulting firms, health care and research organizations.
The program was launched in Fall 2019 in response to the increasingly high demand in the Boston area and elsewhere for professionals trained in data science and statistics.
The M.S. Degree in Statistics provides students with a background in basic statistical theory along with experience in various applications, including computational aspects. As part of their training, students receive comprehensive exposure to popular statistical software packages. In addition to courses offered within the department, the program allows room for the students to take electives in other departments.
Program Flexibility
The M.S. Statistics Degree is a
UMass Flex program, a designation that enables flexible access to UMass Amherst.
