Post Master’s Degree Requirements

(Minimum of 48 hours)

A minimum of 48 semester hours of approved course work built around a core of seven three-credit courses.

Some remedial coursework may be required by the Graduate Director.

Core:

• STAT 721 - Stochastic Processes
• STAT 740 - Statistical Computing
• STAT 810 - Probability Theory I
• STAT 811 - Probability Theory II
• STAT 822 - Advanced Statistical Inference
• STAT 823 - Large Sample Theory
• STAT 824 - Nonparametric Inference

Doctoral Seminar (3 Hours)

• STAT 890 - Doctoral Seminar

Dissertation Preparation (12 Hours)

• STAT 899 - Dissertation Preparation

Note:

The doctoral dissertation must be written in conjunction with the dissertation preparation (STAT 899).

Up to 9 semester hours may be taken outside of the STAT designator or transferred in from another accredited university with the approval of the Graduate Director. Credit hours used in fulfilling requirements for a previous degree may not be transferred.

Additional Requirements:

The progression through the degree program involves three examinations: the admission-to-candidacy exam, usually taken after the first year of study; the comprehensive exam in the form of a dissertation proposal, usually completed near the end of required course work; and the dissertation defense.
