Hello,
I have a B.S. in biology and I'm currently working as biologist. I am wanting to pursue a master's degree in statistics and there are several online programs that look intriguing. A couple of them are M.S. degrees and one (the one I like the best) is a M.A.S. All of them are applied statistics degrees. I'm not sure which one is better. I've read that the M.S. is more theoretical and is better if I pursue a phd. At this point in my life I don't plan on doing that.
Which is better, a M.S. in Applied Statistics or a M.A.S in Applied Statistics? Is one viewed as superior or inferior in the job market or by other statisticians? Thank you very much!
