应用统计理学硕士

The Applied Statistics degree is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in mathematics, statistics or a variety of other fields. Applicants should have completed a calculus sequence that includes multivariable calculus and a course in linear or matrix algebra. Some experience in computer programming and enough background in probability and statistics to begin basic graduate courses in statistics is also required. The later normally means one or two prior courses in probability and statistics, depending on content and level.

To be admitted as a regular student, applicants must have earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with at least a 2.7 (based on 4.0) overall GPA or with at least a 2.5 overall GPA with a 3.0 or better on the last 60 semester hours. To be admitted to the M.S. in Applied Statistics program, it is not necessary to have an undergraduate degree in mathematics or statistics, but applicants do need to have previous work in four crucial areas:

Calculus - Applicants must have completed a calculus sequence that includes multivariable calculus. Generally this requirement is met by taking a 3-semester engineering or math major sequence in calculus (equivalent to MTH 2300, 2310, and 2320 at Wright State).
Matrix or linear algebra - This requirement may be satisfied with a single course at any one of several levels (MTH 2530 or 2550 at Wright State).
Computer programming - Many students satisfy this requirement with course work (a course or two in scientific programming languages), but it is also possible to substitute substantial computer experience in a job setting for formal courses.
Probability and statistics - Statistics courses of many different types are acceptable as long as applicants have had some exposure to both descriptive statistics and statistical inference. Typical course sequences at Wright State that would suffice are STT 2640, or preferably, STT 3600.
Applicants with insufficient preparation may be admitted on the condition that they complete certain prerequisite work to be specified by the
Only an official transcript accompanied by attested translation into English(if needed) will be accepted as evidence of academic preparation.English proficiency is demonstrated by achieving a score of 550 or better on the TOEFL-Pbt, a score of 79 on the TOEFL-IBT, a band score of 6 on the IELTS.
