What Recent Recipients Say about the Certificate Program:
Ning He (Fall, 2007)
I received the Certificate from the University Registrar yesterday. Wow, it was so fast and beyond my expectation. My family is excited to see the Certificate. Though I chose only one course per semester, I learned much about statistics. Also, I like the online system which made my schedule more flexible. This program provides us, who are not in the major, a good chance to know what is and how to use statistics. I will highly recommend it to my friends. I highly appreciate the effort from you and the other professors.
Joe Staven, Plan Automation Analyst (Spring, 2006)
The Certificate Program has not only helped me advance my career and professional credentials, it's given me foundational statistical understanding and tools to address the data challenges and problems in business and society today. The classes were very helpful in introducing a broad range of applied statistical techniques as well as concentrating extensively on essential practical skills through research and projects. The classes were well taught, the professors were very helpful and available, and the material and skills have been valuable to me in pursuing a career in data analytics. I highly recommend this certificate program.
Gary E. Erickson, Configuration Aerodynamics Branch

The wind tunnel testing community in academia, industry, and the federal government strives for the highest quality and reproducibility of experimental data obtained on ground, air, and space vehicles. The knowledge and insights that are gained from the application of advanced statistical methods to data obtained from formally-designed experiments are key elements in the development of future commercial and military vehicles.
As an experimental aerodynamicist involved in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic wind tunnel testing, it is essential that I have a solid background in statistical methods and experimental design. The Graduate Certificate Program in Applied Statistical Strategies offered by the Department of Statistics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, provided an opportunity to obtain the desired formal educational training in statistics, regression analysis, design of experiments, and data mining that are extremely useful in my day-to-day professional activities. The quality of the courses, the instruction provided by the Statistics Department faculty, and the Centra on-line live presentation format was exceptional. The on-line format and the scheduling of the classes allowed me to participate in the four courses required by the certificate program in a seamless manner with my full-time employment.
The UTK Statistics Department Graduate Certificate Program serves an invaluable role to students and professional alike who must apply advanced statistical methods in the classroom and working environments.
