The Program

The Master of Science in Applied Statistics is offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research. The intent of the program is to prepare students for direct entry into a career as statisticians in business, industry, or government, or for further study toward a Ph.D. degree in statistics.

The Prerequisites for Graduate Work

This program is intended for students with a background in mathematics or statistics. Students without this background should expect to take longer to complete the degree requirements.

Applicants must have successfully completed courses in differential and integral calculus, including multivariable calculus; a course in advanced calculus; and a course in linear algebra. At the University, these requirements are equivalent to the completion of MATH 233, MATH 432, and MATH 434. These prerequisites may be waived for admission to the program but must be fulfilled early in the program.

Although no background in statistics is required for admission into the program, it is beneficial for applicants to have completed an introductory two-course sequence in probability and statistics.
