The Graduate Interdisciplinary Program (GIDP) in Statistics provides multidisciplinary academic pathways for earning a Master of Science (M.S.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Statistics (with options for either the standard track or statistical informatics specialization), a 12-unit Graduate Certificate, and a Ph.D. minor for students enrolled in other UA doctoral programs. We aim to cultivate future data science professionals equipped to tackle contemporary challenges in cross-disciplinary data collection, processing, and analysis.
Certificate candidates frequently come from non-traditional academic backgrounds, often with significant professional experience years after their university studies. Our applicants have included professionals from high-tech sectors (particularly Raytheon Missile Systems), research personnel handling data-rich scientific projects seeking advanced statistical training, and former secondary mathematics/statistics educators pursuing career transitions. Given this wide-ranging professional diversity, our admissions evaluation looks beyond academic records to assess relevant work experience. The Certificate program offers both online and in-person completion options.
