Master of Science [M.S] Applied Statistics and Analytics
- The Master of Science in Applied Statistics and Analytics (MSAS) program at Kennesaw State University (KSU) is a professional degree program that seeks to prepare a diverse student body to utilize cutting edge applied statistical methods to enable correct, meaningful inferences from data obtained from business, industry, government and health services. The use of a wide variety of commercial software will be emphasized to ensure graduates can effectively analyze real-world data.
- The MSAS program is a 36 semester-hour applied graduate program designed to meet the needs of business, industry, and government. The program is intended for professionals or students with undergraduate degrees in the sciences, engineering, or business.
- This program differs from traditional statistics graduate programs in the following areas:
- Statistical Computing: Starting the first semester the student will learn analytical programming languages such as SAS, R, and Python.
- Applications Project: Students will complete an applied research project based on data from their place of employment, from an internship or co-op experience, or from work done with a faculty member. Students will produce a written project report demonstrating the analytical skillsets mastered by the students;
- Emphasis on Communication of Results: Because communication of methods and results is vital in using statistics to convert data into actionable information, students will learn to write clear, concise reports and make professional-quality presentations describing the inferences to be made from statistical analyses.
