Required Courses

STAT  5020    Regression Analysis

STAT  5060    Sample Design

STAT  5080    Experimental Design

MATH  6410    Probability Theory I

MATH  6420    Mathematical Statistics II

STAT  6750    Research Methods in Statistics

Three Statistics Electives (at least two at the 6000+ level) - one from offerings in the Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research, one from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and the third one from either department. 

Six graduate credits in an approved cognate area. These are non-statistics courses taken in an area which supports graduate study in statistics (e.g., mathematics or computer science), or in an area where statistics can be applied (e.g., operations research, biology, economics, business administration, sociology, or psychology).

Students are reminded that elective and cognate courses must be chosen such that the courses included in the degree include a minimum of 18 hours at the 600 level or above. MATH 6410, MATH 6420 AND STAT 6750 (required courses) already provide 9 hours toward this requirement.
