Core Coursework Requirements

Core MS Courses (18 units):

*These four courses will prepare a student to pass the qualifying exam following the completion of that spring semester.  In order to receive a MS degree in Statistics, a student must pass a Qualifying Exam at the Master's Degree level.  The exam, given in May and January, has two parts:  Theory (covering course and course) and Methodology (covering course and course).
