文书要求
Applicants are required to submit a statement of purpose and personal statement. These statements provide an opportunity for applicants to demonstrate to the Admissions Committee how their previous academic training, research or interest areas, work experience, and any other relevant evidence based qualifications have prepared them to contribute to the UCLA MAS program and to the field. Both statements will also assist the committee in determining if a fellowship can be awarded. Please include your future career goals and how obtaining a MAS might help you reach your professional potential.
Important degree preparation is likely to come from job experience, in addition to undergraduate education. Many applicants will have gained valuable work experience in fields that have, or need, quantitative thinking. We will highly value documented work experience in applying quantitative methods in research, business, or other professional environments.
The statements can make direct references to the resume/CV.

Prerequisite
A bachelor's degree in statistics is not required for the M.S. or Ph.D. programs, but applicants should have taken at least 12 quarter courses (or eight semester courses) in substantial upper division quantitative work, including, but not limited to, courses in statistics, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering.

项目介绍
Program Description
MAS students must earn a minimum of 44 units of course credit. MAS students will enroll in the 400 level courses. The Master of Applied Statistics program has a set of six required core courses. In addition, students will choose at least five electives that emphasize statistical modeling and programming. A written thesis is the final requirement.
Note: MAS students may choose to take up to two courses per quarter, including the summer, for a total of 12 courses. If this path is chosen, students typically complete the program in 21 months, with a minimum time of 18 months (6 quarters) and a maximum of 30 months (10 quarters).
Differences Between the MS and MAS Programs
UCLA Statistics also offers a Master of Science (MS) program. The MS program focuses more on theoretical statistics. It is an 18-month to 24-month program that requires students to be full-time by requiring a minimum of 12 units per quarter. In contrast, the focus of the MAS program is applied statistics and data science. Most classes will be scheduled in the evening to make it easier for students who are concurrently working professionals. Students in the MAS must take a minimum of 8 units (2 classes) per quarter to be regarded as full-time for visa purposes. The typical load for MAS students is 8 units (2 classes) per quarter.
