数学研究生课程
应用统计学理学硕士
The 道成肉身的大学's (校本) Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a graduate program in applied statistics. The 应用统计学理学硕士 (MSAS) degree will provide students with a comprehensive study of the theory and application of probability and statistics with specific emphasis in solving practical problems. 学生, 作为他们学习计划的一部分, will tutor undergraduate students of statistics and work with industry clients on actual projects.
学生 completing the degree will be prepared for professional careers as applied statisticians in a variety of fields, 比如医药, 生物学, 银行, 保险, 环境科学, 和制造业.
E-Cube统计咨询实验室和MSAS项目
The 校本 Department of Mathematical Sciences has been recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) with a grant to implement a statistical consulting laboratory (the E-Cube lab) into the 应用统计学理学硕士 program.
作为USDA/NIFA资助的一部分, the Department of Mathematical Sciences at 校本 will recruit a total of 11 students for the cohort that will start the program in fall 2013. This cohort will matriculate through a preparation summer course and the five-semester graduate statistics program that will lead to the award of a MSAS in spring 2015.
One student will receive a full tuition scholarship for each of the five semesters through graduation. 剩下的10名学生将在五个学期中每个学期获得津贴. 也, 每学年, three students will be sponsored to attend national conferences and another four students will be sponsored to attend regional meetings.
The creation of the E-cube lab is in alignment with 校本's strategic goal of improving the quality of the MSAS program and the learning experience through practical application of theoretical knowledge that increases students' education, 订婚, 及就业能力(E-Cube).
The MSAS operates in cohorts that start in the fall semester of odd years and it lasts five semesters. 然而, candidates will be asked to complete a free preparation course during the first summer session prior to the beginning of the program in the fall. 学员将在课程结束时参加考试. 通过考试的学生将被正式录取. 不及格的学生将有第二次机会.
学生 admitted to the program will attend the Tutoring and Teaching workshop prior to the beginning of the fall semester. This workshop will prepare MSAS students to complete the first part of the practicum that consists of tutoring and teaching undergraduate students enrolled in statistics courses during the first two semesters of the program. Tutoring will develop students' ability to clearly and concisely explain complex statistical concepts. This ability will be a valuable asset to students working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, 他们中的许多人对统计学的了解有限.
在项目的第一个暑期课程结束时, 学生将学习概率论和统计理论的核心课程, 统计方法和实验设计. 然后, 在第二届夏季会议上, students will attend a workshop on consulting practice where they will learn to work in teams, 使用解决问题的方法, 管理项目, 与客户沟通, 等. Upon completion of this workshop, students will start the second part of their practicum. 学生将被分配到2-3名学生的小组. Each team then will be assigned to a consulting project that local businesses or government institutions have brought to the E-Cube lab. 学生 are expected to participate as statistical experts in a team assembled by the client. The objective is to work cooperatively with the client to find a solution that effectively and efficiently addresses the client's problem.
咨询项目完成后, 学生将写一篇类似论文的报告，介绍他们的咨询工作. They will present the outcome of their project to their client and to the Industry Advisory Board, composed of representatives from local and regional businesses and governmental organizations. 咨询将培养学生与客户沟通的能力, 遵循结构化的方法来解决问题, 在团队环境中工作, 有效沟通, 管理项目, 同时向潜在的雇主展示他们的能力.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences is committed to the success of the MSAS student. 为此目的, the E-Cube lab director will 关闭ly oversee and support student tutoring and consulting activities and student access to statistical software packages needed for course work and consulting. Meetings between faculty and students will be regularly scheduled to review progress and provide advice. Experts in the application of statistical methods will be invited regularly to share their experience and knowledge.
学位要求
学生 will complete a minimum of 36 hours of approved graduate coursework toward the Master of Science. 这些, three hours will be credited for structured tutoring of undergraduate students and six hours for working on at least one consulting project.
