MASTER'S DEGREE IN STATISTICSIn order to enter the program of study leading to a Master of Science Degree in Statistics the applicant must meet the requirements of the Graduate School and of the Department of Mathematics. In addition the applicant must satisfy the following undergraduate requirements:
a) differential and integral calculus, (Calculus I, II, III), . 1point 3 acres
b) linear algebra,
c) FORTRAN or some other high-level computer language.
The requirements b) and c) may be satisfied after admission into the program, but must be satisfied before the second year of study begins. The degree requirements are:
Completion of STAT 5328-5329, Intermediate Mathematical Statistics; STAT 5373, Design of Experiments; STAT 5374, Theory of Linear Statistical Models; and STAT 5375, Statistical Multivariate Analysis. In addition, the completion of any two courses from the following list:
STAT 5372 Nonparametric Statistical Inference
STAT 5377 Statistical Sampling Theory
STAT 5378 Stochastic Processes
STAT 5379 Advanced Stochastic Processes
STAT 5386 Statistical Computing and Simulation, I
Six hours Mathematics to be selected with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies and the statistics coordinator. Those students aspiring for a Ph.D. (statistics emphasis) should take Math 5318-5319 sequence during their first year of graduate studies.
One of the following two options (to be selected with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies). a) Three hours in an area other than Statistics, e.g., Mathematics, Animal Science, Biology, Economics, Engineering, Psychology, or Sociology. This option requires approval of the appropriate graduate advisor from the selected area. b) Three additional hours in Statistics (to be selected from the Mathematics Department offerings).
Either a six-hour Master"s Thesis or a three-hour Master"s Report with an additional three hour course to be selected from requirement 1 or 3 above. A thesis defense or a final comprehensive examination for the report is required.
NOTE: All statistics courses for the M.S. degree must be taken from the statistics offerings in the Department of Mathematics.
