We are excited to announce that our Master of Applied Statistics program has received final approval from the UC President and becomes the newest program offered by the department. The Master of Applied Statistics (MAS) program was created in response to the increasingly high demand from students seeking a terminal master’s degree in data science and quantitative analytics. The MAS program will prepare students for work in industry through an emphasis on methods and theory co...mmonly used in applications. The MAS will cater primarily to part-time students. Courses for the new program will be offered in the evening, so that professionals can continue working while completing their degrees. The degree will require a thesis project that will involve working closely with an industry partner and a faculty member to solve a real scientific or business problem. This will often be in the field where the student is working, thus deepening their understanding of it. The Department has various business, industry and government partners to provide internships, thesis topics, support for their employees, and job prospects for graduating students. Applications will be accepted starting in the late Fall of 2015 for students wishing to begin the program in the Fall of 2016. We welcome companies or agencies that are interested in working with the MAS Program. For full details please visit the new MAS website: master.stat.ucla.edu
