Summary: Tulane University offers a Master of Science degree in environmental statistics. Students are able to obtain a Master of Science degree in environmental statistics from the Graduate School, or a Master of Science in Engineering from the Graduate Division of the School of Engineering. The program is aimed both at full time students from the U.S. and abroad and at part time students from the local community. It is administered by faculty from the School of Engineering and the Department of Mathematics.
Intended purpose and audience: We prepare students for careers in environmental analysis centered on statistics and allied quantitative methods of evaluation. Our students develop the expertise to design and perform sophisticated environmental data analyses. The program addresses the need for trained professionals in an area which is growing due to the explosion in automated data collection systems, computing power, interactive, linkable software, public and ecological health concerns, and the continuing need for analysis to support environmental policy-making and regulation.
This program is flexible, and we offer tuition waivers (full or partial, as appropriate) to qualified students.
