STATISTICS AT FAU

Certificate Program in Statistics

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has been offering a certificate in Statistics since Fall 1996.
The certificate program in statistics enables students to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study in statistics. The required curriculum provides students with necessary statistical foundations of the field and exposes them to practical applications relevant to their chosen area of specialization. The certificate program is administered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Each course, except STA 2023, must be completed with a grade of at least C-.

To enter the program, all students must master the 
mathematical prerequisites: 
Calculus I (MAC 2311) 
Calculus II (MAC 2312) 
Anticipated Scheduling: 
every semester 
every semester
It is strongly recommended that students 
take: 
Calculus III (MAC 2313) 
Matrix Theory (MAS 2103). 
Anticipated Scheduling: 
every semester 
every semester 
In addition, all students must achieve the 
grade of B or higher in 
Introductory Statistics STA 2023 
Anticipated Scheduling: 
every semester 
which may be taken concurrently with the mathematics courses. After meeting the mathematical prerequisites, students must take 
one course from the following list:  
Probability and Statistics I (STA 4442) 
Probability and Random Processes (EEL 4541) 
Probability and Statistics for Engineers (STA 4032) 
Stochastic Models for Computer Science (STA 4821) 
Anticipated Scheduling: 
every Fall 
Fall and Spring

Fall and Spring 
In addition to the selected course from the list above, 
both of the following courses are required:  
Applied Statistics I and its Lab(STA 4234 and STA 4202) 
Planning Investigations (STA 4222) 
Anticipated Scheduling: 
either Fall or Spring

To complete the certificate program, students must 
select two electives from the following:  
Applied Statistics II (STA 4203) 
Probability and Statistics II (STA 4443) 
Computational Statistics I,II (STA 4102, 4103) 
Econometrics II (ECO 4422) 
Introduction to Queuing Theory (MAP 4260)
