MS in Statistics

MS in Statistics

The Statistics MS degree program is designed for students pursuing careers as statisticians in industry, government, or academia.   It can also offer excellent preparation for a PhD in statistics or a related area. 

The Statistics MS program consists of courses in both theoretical and applied statistics. An incoming graduate student who has some background in mathematics and statistics can reasonably expect to complete an MS program in four semesters of study.

Some of our MS graduates opt to work toward their PhD degrees. Of those that do not, nearly all are working in statistics-related jobs.
