| The MSAS Program at Kennesaw
State University will equip its graduates with foundational and
readily applicable knowledge on all statistical methods most
commonly used in business, industry and research. The two
courses in Mathematical Statistics (STAT 7010 and 7030) will
introduce the underlying theory (coupled with real-world
applications) for the discipline of statistical inference. In
these courses, students will learn how to make sound inferences
about populations from sample data and why these methods work.
Throughout the program, the statistical software packages introduced in the first semester Statistical Computing course (STAT 7020) will be utilized by students to perform the methods they are learning and to help them analyze the results. In later semesters, students engage in courses specifically geared to provide skills and understanding of statistical methods for multivariate data (STAT 8320) and categorical data (STAT 8310). Similarly, there is a course in Applied Regression Analysis (STAT 8210), the most important methodology in statistical modeling. Additionally, the student’s ongoing work each semester on applied projects in the project course (STAT 8940) will result in further experience in real-world applications of methods mastered in the courses. |
