Statistical Software

There is NOT a required statistical software package for this course. However, use of statistical software is required. The instruction will generally be provided in Stata. Though you might be able to use the computers installed with Stata in labs in ED2 building, we strongly suggest that the students invest in a license of their own for use on a home computer or laptop. Student licenses for STATA can be purchased through the University. The University of Colorado Denver participates in the Campus GradPlan, which substantially reduces the individual license price. We recommend the Stata/BE version. Price and ordering information can be found at the following link:

$48 for 6 months, $94 for 1 year, $225 perpetual.
