    Hi,

    Wondering if someone could advice on some of the recognised online programs in Statistics. Iam looking to pursue a career in People Analytics, and currently done with few courses on Statistics and R programming from Coursera.org/SWIRL/OpenEDX. Now want to pursue something more advanced, since regular courses are too expensive considering online options.

    Some of the options a bit of googling led me to were:
    - Penn State Uni
    - Uni of California, Berkley
    - Iowa State Uni
    - Georgia Tech
    - Columbia (Certification only - "Core Statistics Certificate")
    - Stanford (Certification only - "Data Mining and Applications Graduate Certificate")

    Kindly advice on the course rigour/fees/corporate value, Iam okay to give GRE if required. Also if credits earned on these can be used for further studies (PhD)

    PS: Iam a based in India, and hold a bachelors degree in Psychology(3yrs) and Masters in Human Resources(2yrs) both from India.

    Cheers!
    R

    UMass Lowell has a B.A. in Mathematics, with a concentration available in Statistics, with some courses online but "this program is not available entirely online. Face-to-face courses are required." UMass Lowell Part-Time and Online Programs.

    UIS has an online B.A. in Mathematics including coursework in statistics, and stats-relevant graduate certificates in Business Intelligence and in Epidemiology, but no program in statistics per se. University of Illinois Springfield.

    We can't forget Texas A&M University, which has kind of awesome master's and graduate certificates in statistics, biostatistics, and data mining.
