Master of Science in Mathematics (M.S.) with a Concentration in Statistics

University of Toledo

The department offers an M.S. in Applied Mathematics an M.S. in Pure Mathematics and an M.S. in Statistics. The master's programs are based on a two-year curriculum of study culminating with a comprehensive examination or a thesis. Graduates from these programs are well prepared both for doctoral studies and for employment in academic and non-academic settings. M.S. in statistics Gives students training in methodology of applied statistics and also provides a solid foundation in statistical theory. Students' skills in applied statistics are developed through project-oriented courses, statistical computing emphasizing S+ and SAS, and faculty supervised experience in the department's statistical consulting service. Through the statistical consulting service students gain first-hand experience assisting with the statistical analysis of problems that come from local institutions such as the UToledo College of Medicine, the UToledo Center for Applied Pharmacology and from local industries. The program requires 35 semester hours of courses. Among the required courses are applications of statistics, statistical inference, linear statistical models, multivariate analysis, statistical computing, non-parametric statistics, categorical data analysis, statistical consulting and sample survey methods and theory.
