The Mathematical Sciences Department offers two Graduate Certificates:
Applied Statistics
Department of Mathematical Sciences
Dr. Charles Byrne 978-934-2447
charles_byrne@uml.edu
This certificate provides professionals in biology, business, computer science, engineering, insurance, medicine, pharmaceutical and other sciences with statistical tools for survival in a highly competitive world marketplace. Experimental design provides methodology for gaining information in an efficient manner. Use of designed experiments in product development is known as off-line quality control. Clinical trials are examples of designed experiments in the medical field. Statistical modeling (linear regression analysis) includes systematic procedures for collecting and analyzing data in order to “predict” a response variable based on one or more “predictor” variables. The techniques covered in design of experiments are special cases of the general approach to statistical modeling. Certificate holders will be equipped with quantitative tools that form the heart of a quality approach to development and improvement of products and services. Most courses are offered in the evening.
Required of Students without Probability/Statistics Background:
92.509 Introduction to Probability and Mathematical Statistics
Required of All Students:
92.591 Statistical Modeling and Linear Regression Analysis
92.593 Experimental Design
Electives:
Electives may be selected from among the courses listed in the graduate school catalog subject to approval by the graduate coordinator.
Mathematics for Teachers
Department of Mathematical Science and Graduate School of Education (Interdisciplinary)
Dr. Kenneth Levasseur 978-934-2414
kenneth_levasseur@uml.edu
Dr. Regina Panasuk 978-934-4616
regina_panasuk@uml.edu
The Certificate is targeted to both professionals who are interested in teaching, giving them the opportunity to learn what is required to become a math teacher, and to current teachers who wish to deepen their content knowledge. With existing teacher testing and professional development requirements, the certificate provides for further study without long-term commitment.
Note: This program will not provide teacher licensure in mathematics. The program's focus is on the content knowledge that is a prerequisite for mathematics teaching.
