Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computation - Applied Statistics (Without Thesis)

The interdisciplinary program in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) offers graduate study leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with concentrations in applied mathematics, applied statistics, and scientific computation. It also offers a Certificate in Scientific Computation to graduate students enrolled in other university Ph.D. programs. The faculty is drawn from departments throughout the university. Possible areas of application include the physical, chemical, biological, and social sciences, and engineering. The program receives substantial support from the Department of Mathematics (MATH), the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM), and the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST). AMSC offers a spectrum of courses at the forefront of computation and applications, as well as state-of-the-art computational, visualization and networking facilities.The Concentration in Applied Statistics emphasizes acquisition of advanced training in the area of statistical application along with statistical topics and development of mathematical and computing skills necessary for the modern applied statistician. Students are required to take a series of core statistical and computational courses with more emphasis on data analytics and presentation skills. In addition, students will take a minimum of six credits in an outside application area.
