Environmental Statistics

Issued by The University of Southern Mississippi

Advanced environmental science careers (i.e., those requiring M.S. or Ph.D.) require knowledge and familiarity with experimental design and analysis of increasingly complex datasets. The Environmental Statistics (ES) Proficiency Badge demonstrates expertise in experimental design and data analysis. The ES Badge is earned after successfully completing two graduate-level statistics courses from a prescribed list of courses.
