Overview

The Statistics programme is offered at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).

Opportunities

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers graduate programmes leading to the Master’s (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in both Applied Mathematics and Statistics. The department has had an active graduate programme in applied mathematics since 1970. It expanded to include a full graduate programme in statistics in 1984. The strength of these programmes lies in its graduate faculty, who are actively engaged in research in applications of mathematics and statistics in a wide variety of real-world problems, as well as in investigations of fundamental and theoretical questions. The faculty designs and implements courses and curricula with emphasis on innovative research directed toward practical applications, as mandated by the charter from the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.

Tracks/options toward the MS degree

To serve the students’ varying range of backgrounds and goals, the department has instituted several tracks/options within its master’s degree programmes, as listed below. Each track defines a set of well-focused graduation requirements. Students who intend to continue to the doctoral programmes should consider the traditional tracks in Applied Mathematics or Statistics. A student whose final goal is a master’s degree in statistics may consider the applications-oriented track in statistics. Most graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or in the evening to enable the participation of those who hold full-time employment.
