Students must complete 15 credits from the list of required courses and 15 credits from the list of elective courses.

This master's program can be completed in two to five years, depending on whether you take one or two courses each semester. The goal is to provide graduates with broad knowledge in a wide range of statistical application areas — and the employable skills in statistics that are now in high demand.
