I graduated a couple of years ago and have been working as a data analyst at a fortune 500 company. I want to go back and get my master's in Statistics while still working. I figured online was the best avenue to do that. My goal is to become a data statistician, forecaster, or data scientist for a company.
While in undergrad, I did various forms of academic research from theoretical ecology, to biochemistry, to mathematical biology. My work in mathematical biology has resulted in three published papers.
