揭秘你与美国大学统计学专业的“匹配度”

　　拥有良好的数学背景是申请统计学专业时候的普遍要求。美国大学在招生时，比较倾向于理工科背景的学生，尤其是本科期间统计学或者数学系的学生。多数学校会明确要求学生修过数学类的基础课程，如高等代数（或者是高等数学）、数学分析、统计的基础课程、实分析等课程。除此之外，一些计算软件，如SPSS、MATLAB、Eviews、SAS等软件的熟练操作和使用也是录取委员比较看重的方面。虽然学校招生没有对工作经验有明确要求，但相关的实习经历、参与过学术项目可大大提升申请成功率。

 

　　开设统计学专业的学校对数学要求总共包括以下几个科目：

 

　　线性代数、微积分学/高等微积分/多变量微积分、数值分析、生物学、遗传学、SAS统计分析系统、数学、社会科学、概率学、统计学、生物统计学。在这里给大家分享几所学校：

 

　　P.S：请自行准备一本英文字典。

 

　　综排：4，专排：20，学位：M.A. in Statistics

　　申请条件——先修课要求：

　　Preparation for the program should include a thorough knowledge of linear algebra (through the level of MATH V2020 at Columbia) and advanced calculus (through the level of MATH V1201).Experience in theoretical or applied probability and statistics is advantageous.Familiarity with computer programming is also helpful.

　　综排：12，专排：5，学位：M.A in Applied Mathematics and Statistics

　　申请条件——先修课要求：

A mathematics background of at least 5 mathematics courses beyond multivariable calculus,including at least two semesters of proof-writing courses (such as analysis, abstract algebra or topology).

　　国际生需要成绩认证。 

　　综排：15，专排：24，学位：Master of Professional Studies in Applied Statistics

　　申请条件——先修课要求：

 　　A student with the equivalent of an undergraduate degree in mathematical or statistical sciences,with at least three semesters of calculus and substantial preparation in linear algebra,applied statistics and computing may expect to finish the degree in one year.

　　综排：19，专排：39，学位：Professional Master’s Degree in Statistics (M.Stat), Master of Art in Statistics (M.A.)

　　申请条件——先修课要求：

 　　Single and multivariable calculus Linear or matrix algebra Probability and Statistics

(Calculus-based) Knowledge of a high-level programming language,e.g. C/C++/C#,

　　综排：29，专排：12，学位：Master degree in Applied Statistics

　　申请条件——先修课要求：

　　It is strongly recommended that prospective students have a good background in calculus and linear algebra and have taken one course in probability and one in theoretical statistics.

　　Students who have not taken these prerequisite courses are generally required to take them in the first year of graduate study, with no credit toward the requirements for the degree.

　　综排：30，专排：12，学位：MS in Statistics

　　申请条件——先修课要求

　　Applicants to the M.S. program should have completed basic undergraduate coursework in statistics and mathematics. Statistics coursework should include an introductory, calculus based course in statistics (similar to STOR 155), an intermediate level course in inference and regression (similar to STOR 455), and a calculus based probability course (similar to STOR 435). Mathematical coursework should include single and multivariable calculus, as well as an intermediate level course in linear and matrix algebra. Students interested in theoretical statistics or probability should have prior coursework in advanced calculus or real analysis.
