The Master’s in Statistical Science (MSS) is a 2-year graduate degree program that provides a modern, comprehensive education in statistical theory, methods, computation, and application. The MSS is attractive to students interested in professional careers in industry, business, and government and those interested in bridging to Ph.D. studies in statistics and related areas.

Highlights

  • Courses and projects emphasize stochastic model-based approaches to inference and prediction problems, highlighting Bayesian and Machine Learning methods.
  • You develop skills and expertise in modeling complex and potentially massive data sets and advanced computational methods while gaining exposure to a broad range of application contexts.
  • You demonstrate proficiency in applied statistics through a period of formal practical training via an industrial internship, capstone project (in partnership with the Master in Interdisciplinary Data Science program), or an applied research project supervised by a Duke faculty.
  • In-house professional development opportunities and career counseling prepare students for a wide variety of highly competitive careers in statistics and allied fields.
