Master’s degree requirements

Two master’s degree options are available through the Statistics  graduate program: the master’s report options and the nonreport option.

• For the master’s report options, the student must take 30 hours of coursework and write a report for 2 additional hours of credit.
• For the nonreport option, the student must take 35 hours of coursework and pass a comprehensive exam approved by the supervisory committee.

The master’s report option is strongly recommended for all students, especially those for whom the master’s degree will be the terminal degree.
