The recommended full-time course load in the first semester is:
- Probability – GR5203—Core Course
- Inference – GR5204—Core Course
- Linear Regression Models– GR5205—Core Course
- Stat Comp & Intro Data Science—GR5206—This is the first offering in the popular Data Science Sequence offered by the Statistics Department.
This course schedule covers the basic prerequisites needed for the other statistics electives. More details are in the Registration Outline for incoming students.
Students with a background in probability and inference should take the half-semester versions of these courses. This allows for more advanced studies in the second semester.
Students lacking a strong background in probability and inference should confer with their faculty adviser as to whether they should take full-semester versions, and how to arrange the schedule if that is the case.
It is important to know what courses are REQUIRED, what electives are APPROVED, and what courses are NOT-APPROVED.
