The course aims to teach MA in Statistics students how to manage their careers and develop professionally. Topics include resume and cover-letter writing, negotiation, mentoring, interviewing skills and communication across global teams. Top professionals from across the globe speak to students and help improve leadership skills.
This course is intended to provide a mechanism to MA students in Statistics who undertake on-campus project work or research. The course may be signed up with a faculty member from the Department of Statistics for academic credit. Students seeking to enroll in the course should identify an on-campus project and a congenial faculty member whose research is appealing to them, and who are able to serve as their mentor. Students should then submit an application to enroll in this course, which will be reviewed and approved by the Faculty Director of the MA in Statistics program.

Prerequisites: GR5203; GR5204 &GR5205 and at least 4 approved electives This course is an elective course for students in the M.A. in Statistics program that counts towards the degree requirements. To receive a grade and academic credits for this course, students are expected to engage in approved off-campus internships that can be counted as an elective. Statistical Fieldwork should provide students an opportunity to apply their statistical skills and gain practical knowledge on how statistics can be applied to solve real-world challenges.
This fundamental course introduces students to core concepts of nursing science including taxonomy, philosophies of caring, nursing process, and evidence-based care. Concepts from the biological, physical, epidemiological, and behavioral sciences will be utilized as students begin the study of adults experiencing major biophysical health problems. The course is an introduction to the role of the professional nurse in medical/surgical nursing care of the adult client in context of populations.
This course provides coverage of modern database architecture and how organizations extract, transform, and load data to set the foundation for deep analytics within their organization. Students will develop a broad understanding of cloud-based computing environments such as Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure, MapReduce and data parallel applications using Hadoop, noSQL databases such as MongoDB. Students will learn how to develop a strong working knowledge of relational and non-relational databases, structured and unstructured data, as well as scalability and performance issues as they relate to modern applied analytics. Students will cover different types and scales of data and how to apply the best database framework for their organization’s analytic needs. The course will provide case studies from industry and students will apply their knowledge to architect real business solutions, not only the optimal architectural framework but the total costs, including hardware, software and human costs, to implement such a solution.
Prerequisites: enrollment in the M.A. Program in Climate and Society. During the third and final term of study for the 12-month M.A. Program in Climate and Society, students must complete either a thesis or internship and simultaneously enroll in EESC W4405. The summer internship requires a minimum of 140 hours of professional participation during the Summer Term in a position related to core issues of concern to the Program. The selected position must be approved by the Director of the M.A. Program by a specified date in the Spring Semester preceding the Summer Term. The position must be substantive in nature and must constitute a practical, professional experience. Students will be evaluated on the basis of oral and written updates on the work, a student internship report to be submitted at the end of the Summer Term, and on the basis of a supervisor report form to be submitted by the site supervisor for the internship.
In this course, students will work jointly with a client organization in the climate and society field. Under the guidance of the instructors, they will take a short request from the organization for a specific product (data analysis, program development, curricular and training material, or other related items), develop a work plan, implement the work plan, and present the final product to the client. This course gives students direct experience in the co-production of knowledge in the climate and society field, a valuable skill in the contemporary world. It extends the training in the integration of natural science and social science that is a hallmark of the Climate + Society program. It includes training in the construction of a boundary object--a final product--conducted jointly with the client organization; this training includes instruction in project design, implementation and evaluation, and in communication between organizations.

This course provides education at the executive level on the technology and design of Blockchains and their business implications. Technology executives need to understand the disruption and opportunities that decentralized ledgers (i.e., Blockchains) will create in the coming years. Indeed, the business impact of Blockchain technologies will likely be much larger than that which the internet itself has had because Blockchain will fundamentally change the power dynamic of data ownership. Blockchain is already impacting a variety of industries, and in this class we will look specifically at its analytical implications.
