Any info about MS in Statistics at Lehigh University ?

[BJX]

Hi

I recently got admission from MS program in statistics from Lehigh. I'm going to look for a job after graduation instead of pursuing a phd. Is this a suitable program that can provide me many job opportunities, like the first round job interviews?

 

Each year no more than 10 students go to this MS program in statistics for further study and it's under the math department. Lehigh does not offer a Statistics phd degree. Only a Math phd with stat track. I have no idea about the career service in Lehigh statistics program.

 

M.S. Program in Statistics at Lehigh U has two tracks

Statistics Track
