MA/MS in Statistics

The MA in Statistics and Data Science is a professional degree for full-time students, finished in a fall and a spring semester. It is aimed at industry challenges rather than preparation for a doctorate. The curriculum builds a base in probability, statistical theory and computing with Python, R and SQL, then offers advanced electives such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students gain hands-on experience, ending in a team-based project. There is no internal route from this degree into the PhD. Applications for Fall entry are due January 6, 2027. The GRE is not required. The program page also links to the department's own site for further detail. Admission details are listed in the Graduate Division program directory, along with department contact information. Applicants should confirm current requirements on the program's graduate admissions page.
