<p>I am trying to decide what some good graduate degrees would be good options. I don't want pure stat grad school. Is info systems an option? Biostats or would that be worthless already having stats undergrad?</p>
<p>No graduate degree in any statistics specialization is worthless. If you have a statistics undergrad, there are any number of options - and yes Biostats is a viable option.</p>
<p>The closest thing to stats without being “pure stat” is biostatistics. Most good biostat programs will have you doing your fair share of stat theory (usually 1-2 years’ worth), but won’t require some of the more theoretical math/stats courses like advanced probability and measure theory.</p>
<p>I know georgetown’s biostats program requires multivariable calc, linear algebra, and some stats courses, and I imagine other biostats recommend the same. So you do need math up to linear algebra and some stats, but they don’t require the more upper-level theoretical stuff. Getting a MS in biostats would go well with your stats undergrad if you’re interested in bio/health also.</p>
<p>An MS in stats/biostats is not worthless if you have an undergrad stats degree; many stats jobs require the master’s.</p>
<p>Another option is operations research, which combines statistics with business classes.</p>
