The MS Program:

The Master of Science in Statistics program is administered by the Schools of Mathematics (Math) and Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE). The main body of courses for the M.S. in Statistics degree are taken in Math and in ISyE. Choices of the remaining courses in the program are quite flexible; students in the program can concentrate their studies on a specific area of application such as Operations Research, Psychology, Mechanical Engineering, etc., or, in preparation for the Ph.D., can take more mathematical courses. The M. S. degree in Statistics is awarded upon successful completion of the courses in the program as described below according to the stipulations of the Institute catalog. Electives are to be chosen in consultation with a faculty member. Plans of graduate and undergraduate offerings are available as are more details, including catalog descriptions, about all courses offered the coming semester.

In addition to the listing below see also the ISyE listing.
