Program Highlights
RIT’s advanced certificate in applied statistics is a flexible, online graduate-level credential. Designed for working professionals from a variety of disciplines who need to add statistical analysis skills to their resume through part-time study. With this credential, you’ll gain the skills you need to apply to your job immediately, and to increase your value and marketability in today’s data-rich environment.
Recent studies show that “hybrid jobs”—those requiring complex sets of skills from different fields—are up to 40% higher paying than their single-focus counterparts, and are on the rise in every domain of business. The advanced certificate in applied statistics is a smart investment to be able to move into hybrid, complex, higher-paying jobs.
The online curriculum, faculty, and distinguished degree are identical to the on-campus advanced certificate program. You will have access to RIT’s Career Services counselors who can provide advice to help you plan, prepare for, and meet your career goals.
