GWU STATS 考虑转business analytics

RT， 已经上了stats 一学期。 前两天刚上了堂BA的optimization觉得不错
问已经工作的同学也觉的课程设置不错 就有点想转专业。 因为毕竟还是想MS毕业找工作，而BA看起来更应用。 但是个人对stats课程（偏理论）没什么偏见。。。


纠结啊啊！

顺便把课程发上来 求大家给点意见！！

谢谢！!

觉得还是stat比较好. 毕竟做统计分析的(marketing, cs, insurance等)的background还是stat major毕业的多. 拿stat degree出去, 公司的认可度高一点.

那还是 继续读statistic degree, 同时拿一个business analytics的certificate呢？

感觉certificate 这种东西见仁见智。。。。不知道真的有用否。。

支持一楼，还是学statistic吧，不过可以选些商学院的课程
