The applied statistics and data analytics degree provides you with a strong foundation in statistical methodology, experience in its applications, a solid background in the use of statistical computing packages, and the skills to collaborate on projects that rely on statistical analysis. The degree gives you an advantage in the fields of business, government, and industry, and also prepares you for advanced study in graduate programs. Diverse application areas for graduates include product design, biostatistics, data analytics, quality control, and statistical forecasting.
Educational Approach
Early courses are designed to give you a foundation in calculus, statistics, algebra, and computer science. Application areas are very diverse and include product design, biostatistics, actuarial science, quality control, and statistical forecasting.
Real-World Experiences
Students collaborate with specialists in both scientific and non-technical areas to design and conduct experiments and interpret the results. Application areas are very diverse and include product design, biostatistics, actuarial science, quality control, and statistical forecasting.
Nature of Work
Statisticians contribute to scientific inquiry by applying their mathematical and statistical knowledge to the design of surveys and experiments; collection, processing, and analysis of data; and interpretation of the results. Statisticians may apply their knowledge of statistical methods to a variety of subject areas, such as biology, economics, engineering, medicine, public health, psychology, marketing, education, and sports. Many economic, social, political, and military decisions cannot be made without the use of statistical techniques, such as the design of experiments to gain federal approval of a newly manufactured drug. In industry, statisticians play an important role in quality control and product/process improvement based on data analysis.
Advanced Degrees
Graduate programs offered by the School of Mathematical Sciences introduce students to rigorous advanced applied mathematical and statistical methodology. Students realize the potential for that cutting-edge methodology as a general tool in the study of exciting problems in science, business, and industry. The school offers the following advanced degrees: an advanced certificate in applied statistics, master of science degrees in applied and computational mathematics and applied statistics, and a doctorate degree in mathematical modeling.
Combined Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Degrees
Today's careers require advanced degrees grounded in real-world experience. RIT's Combined Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Degrees enable you to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in as little as five years of study, all while gaining the valuable hands-on experience that comes from co-ops, internships, research, study abroad, and more.
+1 MBA: Students who enroll in a qualifying undergraduate degree have the opportunity to add an MBA to their bachelor's degree after their first year of study, depending on their program. Learn how the +1 MBA can accelerate your learning and position you for success.
