Areas of specialization include: financial economics, econometrics. The Master's in Statistical and Economic Modeling program is jointly managed and overseen by the Departments of Statistical Science and Economics to train and develop statistical skills linked to economics, finance, and related areas to prepare graduates for Ph. D. studies or related professions.
The focus is on theory and methods of statistical science and economics, computational statistics, and interdisciplinary economic applications. Students will study both statistics and economics coursework in depth, and will write a thesis paper based on an individual and mature research project.
The degree will emphasize computational statistics and econometrics in a variety of programming languages including SAS, STATA, R, S-Plus, and others.
