NB: Our 29-credit,
three-semester program is novel in that it requires students to have completed
during the undergraduate studies one introductory statistics course plus two
calculus courses (differential and integral).
That is, multivariate calculus is not required to gain admission,
although some enrolling students have indeed covered the third calculus
course. In the event that an enrolling
student has not completed multivariate calculus, s/he will be required to
complete a 2-credit “calculus review” course (which does cover these new
topics) during the first semester of study; these additional two credits of “calculus
review” do not count towards the 29-credit required program total.
Sequencing of Courses:
·
Note that we do not offer
graduate courses during the Summer semester
·
Fall only courses are
STAT403, STAT404, STAT408, and STAT410.
·
Spring-only courses are
STAT405, STAT407, STAT436 and STAT437.
·
As often as possible: STAT406,
STAT411, STAT421, STAT426, Bayesian Methods, Nonlinear Regression Methods,
Nonparametric Methods, Sampling Methods, and other special topics classes.
Here is the typical sequence
for students entering during the Fall semester:
