[Discussion] [E] What are some well-reputed Online MS in Statistics programs?
I currently work in big pharma in a stats-adjacent field. I have a bachelor’s in a natural science, and a master’s in health data science. I like my job a lot but I would love to increase my foundational statistical knowledge, so I can be better at my job or even work as a statistician (my first masters was very applied and not stats heavy).
Which brings me to my question, has anyone else had good experience with an online MS statistics or Biostatistics program? My employer will cover most of the cost so I’m not too worried about that. I already did Calc 1-3 and recently did Linear Algebra.
Some programs I’ve seen are NC state, Penn State, Uni of Louisville, Cal State Fullerton.
Bonus points if I can waive computing based classes (I already use them a lot in my job) and take other electives instead. Thanks!
