8.1. Accelerated MS in Statistics & Data Science

Math/SDS Majors and Minors → Accelerated Master's Programs → Accelerated MS in Statistics & Data Science

Students pursuing a statistics & data science major or a mathematics major with either the Probability & Statistics or General/Applied emphasis may be interested in applying for the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in Statistics & Data Science.

Students who are accepted into the AMP will begin taking 500-level courses required in the Statistics & Data Science M.S. degree during their final year of the undergraduate degree; these courses may also be applied to the undergraduate math or SDS major requirements. After completion of the undergraduate degree requirements, one additional year of graduate work is needed to finish the Master's degree.

The courses taken as an undergraduate are:

Fall: STAT 564, STAT 571A

Spring: STAT 566, STAT 571B

The 564/566 sequence will replace MATH 464/466 in the undergraduate major (a Math Center advisor will need to adjust your advisement report after you enroll in each course).

The Accelerated Master's Program requirements and admissions criteria are set by the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program (GIDP) in Statistics & Data Science.  Click the link above for more information about requirements, eligibility, and to submit questions to the Statistics & Data Science GIDP program coordinator.
