Elective Courses for the Certificate in Federal Statistics
For the course descriptions see catalog. For Course Syllabi, see graduate statistics courses.
The certificate consists of fifteen credit hours which are selected from the certificate program courses and electives. All courses are offered in late afternoon and evening and are particularly suitable for part-time students. The certificate courses are aimed at building the foundations of statistics and survey sampling and consist of the following:
STAT 554 Applied Statistics *
STAT 574 Survey Sampling I
STAT 674 Survey Sampling II
STAT 634 Case Studies in Data Analysis
STAT 663 Exploratory Data Analysis
STAT 665 Categorical Data Analysis
STAT 673 Statistical Methods for Longitudinal Data Analysis
STAT 779 Topics in Survey Design and Analysis
* Students with minimal background in the statistics may substitute STAT 510 for STAT 554.
All of these courses except STAT 510 may also be used as credit towards the M.S. in Statistical Science. For the certificate program, the student may choose any three of the certificate courses plus two elective courses chosen with the consent of the certificate coordinator. The electives are drawn from a wide variety of courses and are intended to provide a broad background supportive of the multidisciplinary needs of complex statistical systems. The electives may be chosen from the certificate courses or, with the consent of the certificate coordinator, the courses listed below. Some courses may have prerequisites for which the student must qualify or seek a waiver from the appropriate instructor.
