Twice a year the SAS Consultants offer a SAS short course open to the university community. This course offers faculty, graduate students, and research staff with some knowledge of statistics an opportunity to learn SAS and the local computing system. Each semester demand for this course exceeds capacity. For more information see SAS Short Course.
For consulting clients to take full advantage of the expertise offered by the department, they must have a working knowledge of statistics (as in ST511,512) and SAS. As a rule, clients lacking a background in statistics require a degree of hand-holding that places greater demand than our services can provide.
Most graduate students in CALS involved in research that requires use of experiment design and statistical analysis are required by their program curricula or by their advisory committees to take a basic graduate level statistics sequence like ST511,512. In this sequence, students attend a scheduled lab where they learn to use the SAS language and the use of the Statistics Instructional Computing Laboratory (SICL) facilities. The following is a list of courses offered by the department which may be taken beyond the ST511,512 sequence without further Statistics prerequisites:
There are some additional applied statistics courses that have ST515, 516 as prerequisites rather than ST511, 512. Please check the course listings carefully to be sure that you are taking the right prerequisites. The courses in the above list have either ST511 or ST511 and ST512 as prerequisites.
