The Statistics MS program offers students rigorous training in many areas of statistics and probability. The program is flexible enough to accommodate students with different technical backgrounds and subject matter interests, and allows students to pursue a variety of coursework in theory, methodology, computation, and applications. The MS degree provides a valuable complement to a number of PhD programs in the sciences and social sciences, and enhances the credentials of students in these programs seeking academic or industrial jobs. Over the years, students have completed the Statistics MS degree concurrently with a Ph.D. in areas such as Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Mathematics and Physics. Terminal masters students, who seek employment after completion of the degree, have had little difficulty finding jobs in industry or government.
