"The graduate program in Statistics has been developed for
students interested in becoming practitioners of statistics, who are
trained in statistical methodology . . . Though the applications of
statistical science are emphasized, the theoretical foundations are
presented as well . . . [S]tudents are prepared for professional work in
the design and analysis of experiments, the development and analysis of
statistical models, data analytic techniques, and the associated
computational methods, and statistical computing."

"The department offers a statistics major in cooperation
with the mathematics major in cooperation with the mathematics department.
The joint statistics/mathematics major provides a stronger preparation for
graduate study in statistics. Students who are most interested in applying
statistics in industry, government, or in applied areas of graduate study
should take the statistics major. The department encourages
interdisciplinary study, and students should consult with departmental
advisers to plan their program."

"The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Stevens
Institute of Technology is offering a new master's program in Applied
Statistics. This is an interdisciplinary program integrating courses and
applications in engineering disciplines, economics, management, and
computer science. Students are encouraged to take elective courses outside
the Mathematics Department and to apply tools and techniques they learn to
problems derived from their professional work and/or interests. This
program places a special emphasis on problem solving. Team work, data
analysis, problem tackling, and result presentation are essential
components of student's training."
