MA/MS in Statistics

This master's program combines theoretical and applied statistics with current statistical learning techniques and software for analysis. Students build core strength in statistical theory and methodology, take part in collaborative projects with domain scientists and industry partners, and develop professional skills such as communication and teamwork. The specific course requirements are set by the academic department that administers the degree, so prospective students should consult that unit for the current plan of study and for advice on choosing electives and any minor. Coursework is based at the Main campus in Tucson. The minimum credit requirement is stated on the program page (30 units), though the actual total can differ with the degree plan and any minors, so applicants should check the Graduate College admission standards before applying.
