Other departments sometimes offer courses highly related to statistics. One example being offered this Fall 2013 is ECON 490 – U3D: Advanced Topics in Econometrics being taught by Prof. Eun Yi Chung. The description is as follows:

The goal of this course is to develop basic tools to understand and use modern econometric methods. We focus on estimating and making inference for causal effects with a special attention to policy relevant problems. Topics include randomized experiments, natural experiments, matching methods, instrumental variables, and regression discontinuity. We discuss theoretical aspects of these methods with detailed applications.
