Admission Requirements: The well-prepared applicant to the department's Master's programs has good grades in a three-semester calculus sequence, a two-semester advanced calculus sequence, a semester of linear algebra, and a two-semester sequence in probability and statistics. Some of these courses may be taken as part of the program, but this may result in lengthening the stay. Students may apply to either the Master’s or PhD program directly from a Bachelor’s degree. GRE General Test scores are required, but Subject Test scores are not.
The written statement should not exceed two pages and should describe the applicant's academic and career goals as well as special interests in the area of statistics. Applicants may also submit a resume. Individuals applying for fall enrollment and who wish to be considered for financial aid should have their completed applications in by no later than December 15 of the preceding year. Applications arriving after that will be considered but may be assigned lower priority. Students are not normally admitted for spring or summer enrollment.
Master's Degree Requirements: All Master's programs in statistics require a minimum of 34 credit hours, of which 12 are first-year core (ST 512, ST 521, ST 522, ST 552 and their labs), one is supervised consulting (ST 641). The remainder are statistics and/or supporting electives.
Doctoral Degree Requirements: The Ph.D. program in statistics requires 22 course credit hours beyond the Master's, of which 9 are Ph.D. core courses (ST 779, ST 793, and ST 758), one is supervised consulting (ST 841), and 12 are Ph.D.-level statistics electives.
Student Financial Support: Departmental assistantships and fellowships are awarded each year on a competitive basis.
Other Relevant Information: With a large graduate faculty representing virtually all major statistical specializations, the department is recognized as a world leader in graduate education and research in statistics. Its applied orientation sets it apart from most other departments in the country, offering education to those wishing to pursue careers as consulting statisticians in industry and government, as well as to those seeking careers in research and teaching.
