It is the student’s responsibility to stay on track with graduation requirements, and to make sure the Faculty Adviser approves course selections.  During the first three weeks of classes (or during preregistration for the Spring Semester and Final Fall Semester), each student should send the MA Program Course Checklist to their Faculty Adviser.  Please don’t expect an immediate answer.  Allow a week for your Faculty Adviser to answer. 

• Here are details about the Statistics MA Program requirements.
• Here are approved electives.
• Here is information about Cross Registration.
• Here are electives grouped according to interest area, such as finance, data science, public health, insurance, or Ph.D., I’m looking to continue studying after graduation. 
• Here is a list of courses that will not count for the MA Degree in Statistics.

The Elective Course Request Form can be used if a class is not on the “Approved Electives” list, but you feel that it should be under consideration.  Before filling out that form, it is advisable to have a conversation with your Faculty Adviser.
