What Our Students Are Saying
Already, the coursework in statistical analysis has been beneficial—even eye-opening— to me. I see myself applying the degree immediately to my career in financial services or in a handful of other fields. There are so many different directions you can go with it.
After just one semester in the MSAE program I have already been able to apply some of the concepts in everyday situations at work to solve problems around pricing and forecasting. Without training in statistical modeling programs like Stata and R that I received in the MSAE program my solutions to these problems could not have been as accurate or robust.
