Introduction

The Applied Statistical Modeling certificate is an ideal endorsement for those looking to learn advanced modeling skills. These classes will teach you to think and reason with quantitative data, especially using large scale datasets. You will learn to build model to test conceptual frameworks and communicate findings in a manner that is useful to those working in applied/field settings.

Delivery Method

• This is a fully online program with some classes having synchronous Zoom class meetings.
• The certificate typically takes 2 years to complete.
