Mathematics M.S./Statistics M.S.
Dual Master Degrees
The graduate plan in Mathematics and Statistics leads to a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mathematics and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Statistics. This plan emphasizes a curriculum that is designed to educate students in both Mathematics and Statistics. The plan is suitable for students with degrees in engineering, science or other fields with an undergraduate background in mathematics.
