Recommendations for graduate level stat course

I would appreciate if you guys could provide some DL schools where I can complete a graduate level statistics course. Thanks, Simon

 

University of West Alabama

 

Colorado State University

Colorado State University offers a DL masters in statistics. Their courses are taught via VCD and correspond with their onsite offerings.

You may not want the MS in stats but I'm sure you could find one stats course to meet your needs.

UoP

I took a 5 week online statistics course from Univ. of Phoenix. Very expensive and intense because it was crammed into 5 weeks.

The only thing I seem to remember is that statistics are a bunch of lies!

 

UOP stats class

Hi,

UOP graduate classes are 6 weeks long, not 5 weeks, and yes, there is A LOT crammed into the 6 weeks.

I would go w/ some of the cheaper options unless you are hell bent on getting the course done in 6 weeks, online courses are $1710 a pop unless you are active duty military. Here is a course description in case you are interested:

Re: UoP

The way I remember it is "there are liars, damn liars, and statisticians."

 

UoP

"UOP graduate classes are 6 weeks long, not 5 weeks, and yes, there is A LOT crammed into the 6 weeks." quoted by aic712

You are right! It was 6 weeks long and it was the statistics course you mentioned. Stats for managerial decision making. Of course the first week we introduced ourselves, submitted a profile and that kind of crap! So in reality it was 5 weeks long.

Anyway, The Univ. of Phoenix is RA so it transferred to my school without problems. Make sure you check with your school before spending your hard earned cash and wasting your time!

In truth, I wasn't very impressed with UoP but it got the job done!

 

University of West Alabama - approximately $900. plus books, totally distance learning and the exams are not proctored.

ED 506 - EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS (3)
Incorporation of computer usage in the principles and practices of psychological and educational assessment. Inferential and descriptive statistics, formal and informal methods of assessment, designing assessment programs, interpretation of test results, and analysis of research results are explored.


DISCLAIMER - I went to UWA - totally enjoyed it. I did not take this course since I had taken statistics in the MBA program.
