BS (selected)/Statistical Science, Accelerated MS

School:  Volgenau School of Engineering 

Department:  Statistics 

This degree option allows Mason students to earn an MS in statistical science in less time than if they had first graduated from a Volgenau School bachelor’s program or the BS in Mathematics and then applied to the MS program.

Admission Requirements

Students must begin MS work within six months following completion of a BS degree in any one of the Volgenau School major areas or a BS in mathematics from the College of Science. Admission is guaranteed to any student with an overall GPA of 3.00 in courses taken after the first two undergraduate years (60 credits) with grades of B or better in the two 500-level STAT courses selected from STAT 544, 554, and 574.

Degree Requirements

The program consists of a minimum of 144 credits that satisfy the requirements for both the BS in the undergraduate major and the MS in statistical science with 6 credits of overlap. Twenty-four credits are required for the MS, provided that students have taken two of STAT 544, 554, and 574 as part of their BS course work.
