Mathematics and Statistical Science Dual-Degree MS (VS)
|
|
Banner Codes: SC-MS-MATH, VS-MS-STAT
Schools: Volgenau School of Engineering and College of Science
Department: Statistics and Mathematical Sciences
This program allows students to earn an MS degree in Mathematics and an MS degree in Statistical Science by completing 48 credits of course work in both areas instead of the 60 that would be required if the degrees were sought independently.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must satisfy admission requirements for both the Mathematics, MS and the Statistical Science, MS programs. A joint faculty committee from the Mathematical Sciences and Statistics Departments make final admission decisions into the dual-degree program.

MS-MATH/STAT Dual-Degree Requirements
The dual-degree program requires a total of 48 credits as specified below: Elective Credits
- 12 elective credits from any STAT courses numbered 540-775.
Notes:
- Students in either the BS/Accelerated MS in Mathematics program or the BS(selected)/Accelerated MS in Statistical Science program cannot get a reduction of 6 credits toward this dual degree. Students who want to proceed to a PhD degree will only be able to waive the number of credits specified in the associated PhD degree requirements, even though they will have 48 credits at the MS level.
- If a student decides not to complete the required 48 credits, a single MS degree will not be granted unless the student fulfills the requirements for either the Mathematics, MS or the Statistical Science, MS .
- Once a student receives one of the MS degrees from either department, the student will no longer be eligible for the reduction in credit (i.e., will need to complete 30 credits) if the student later decides to earn the other MS degree.
