The Master of Science in Applied Statistics (MSAS) Program at Kennesaw State University is a professional degree program which seeks to prepare a diverse student body to utilize cutting-edge statistical methods to draw valid and meaningful inferences from business, industry, government and health services data. Using a variety of commercial software, graduates are expected to analyze real-world data appropriately and communicate their findings effectively.

The MSAS degree is a 22-month (5 semesters including a summer semester) early evening program designed for professionals or students with undergraduate degrees in the sciences or business. Course titles include:

  • Introduction to Mathematics for Statistics
  • Mathematical Statistics I & II
  • Statistical Computing and Simulation
  • Quality Control and Process Improvement
  • Applied Experimental Design
  • Six Sigma Problem Solving
  • Applied Regression Analysis
  • Applied Categorical Data Analysis
  • Applied Multivariate Methods
  • Data Mining
  • Applied Analysis Project

An emphasis of the MSAS program is in applied statistical methods used in industry and government for process and quality improvement. A key focus is the continuous training and practice using Six Sigma methodology of process improvement. These techniques are in demand in industry due to the cost savings typically resulting from process improvement activities. Upon completion of program, students will be able to:

  • Apply appropriate statistical methods to solve problems
  • Analyze data using several statistical packages
  • Identify opportunities for quality and productivity improvement
  • Establish process control systems
  • Lead problem-solving teams
  • Communicate project results orally and in writing
