What makes Loyola's MS in Applied Statistics degree unique?

Loyola’s MS in Applied Statistics really is an applied degree. Whereas many schools teach just theory, Loyola trains you in SAS, or Statistical Analysis System. It was that training that helped me stand out on the job market. You interview for jobs knowing the most useful programming tool in the industry.

This degree is sought after in many industries: biomedical, defense, sports, politics, and more. You can be sure that an Applied Statistics degree from Loyola will be a big help getting you in the door.
