Overview
Through the course of study, students acquire the necessary skills to prepare them for high level careers in fields that require sophisticated data analysis skills.
To satisfy the Statistics program requirements at University of Texas at Dallas, the Mathematical Sciences Department currently offers a choice between three tracks:
Statistics track: Students who pursue this track receive a solid foundation and deep background in theoretical and applied statistics. This prepares them for possible continuation in the PhD program in statistics at UT Dallas or another major research university or the opportunity to enter the job market.
Applied Statistics track: Students who choose this track typically seek immediate employment after completing their degree and do not plan to continue their education at the doctoral level. This track is also popular among students who already have a background in another discipline, but would like to build expertise in statistics to enhance their employment opportunities.
Data Science track: Students who choose this interdisciplinary track take a balanced mix of courses in statistics, computer science and mathematics in order to become a data scientist, and take on the challenges of Big Data. Upon graduation, these students seek employment or may continue into a PhD program in data science.
Career Options
Graduates of the program seek positions such as: professor in an academic institution, or professional in industry, government or finance and researcher in public or private sector. Available emphases ensure that candidates can tailor their future career by having targeted their educational background to their research interests.
