Diploma in Applied Statistics

Description

The Diploma in Applied Statistics is a program offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, which seeks to give students a technical competency in the use and application of Statistics. The program is intended mainly for those whose primary area of expertise is not in Statistics, but who feel the need to be able to use modern statistical techniques. This program seeks to fill a need of researchers to reach a useful level of competency in the use of statistical methodology.

The Diploma in Applied Statistics will be counted as equivalent to a Minor in Statistics for the purposes of application to graduate studies.
