Which Schools Offer the Best MSc in Mathematical Statistics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the pursuit of a Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematical Statistics by a graduate currently completing an MSc in Transportation Engineering. The individual expresses a preference for practical applications of statistical models over research, leading to the decision to explore further education in statistics rather than a PhD. Three schools are specifically mentioned as potential options: Ohio State University (OSU), Boston University, and the University of Florida.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of statistical modeling techniques
  • Familiarity with graduate-level coursework in mathematics
  • Knowledge of transportation engineering principles
  • Awareness of academic programs in statistics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Ohio State University’s MSc in Mathematical Statistics program
  • Investigate Boston University’s offerings in statistical sciences
  • Explore the University of Florida’s curriculum for statistics
  • Review career opportunities for MSc graduates in Mathematical Statistics
USEFUL FOR

Individuals considering a transition to a career in statistics, current MSc students in engineering or related fields, and anyone seeking to understand the academic landscape of statistical education.

Hey all,

I will soon be graduating with a MSc in Transportation Engineering. I'm currently writing my thesis, and probably by May 2010 will be done. However, I am unsure I am willing to go for a PhD, at least not in this field. During my time in my Master, I found out I can only do practitioner's work (use the models to predict travel demand and such), because I don't enjoy the transportation research. However, I did enjoy the high amount of mathematical statistics involved, so I decided maybe I should give another MSc a try (not a PhD because maybe I just hate research in general?), but this time in Stat.

Does anyone has any opinion/advice? if not, which schools could you recommend for this?

I, myself, have looked at three schools so far: OSU, Boston U, and U of Florida.
