Applied Statistics

Applied Statistics is offered as a minor field of study only. However, as a minor field, it plays an important role in the doctoral program as empirical research is central to Accounting, Finance, and Marketing areas.

Many students majoring in these areas choose to combine the fairly comprehensive statistical training provided in the area of Applied Statistics with those in their major. Thus, the Applied Statistics minor is designed to complement the strong emphasis on emprirical research in many of the functional areas. Since many faculty who teach in Applied Statistics area also teach in other areas, the integration of the functional fields with Applied Statistics is reflected in many of the courses offered at the Simon School.
