72 hours of study including 21 hours from core courses, 2 Qualifying exams over core courses, Preliminary exam with advisor, and defense of thesis

Baylor's Department of Statistical Science administers two graduate programs. Both programs, the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), provide a balance between statistical theory and applications of statistical methods.

Students must complete 75 semester hours, including a statistics core of 27 hours, a consulting-teaching practicum of 3 semester hours, 36 hours of elective courses, and 9 hours of dissertation work. Students must also demonstrate computer proficiency and pass a preliminary examination.

A PhD student must complete 16 courses, with a grade of "B-" or higher, for the PhD. At most, four of the courses may be transferred from other institutions. If the PhD student is admitted to the post-MA PhD program, then eight courses are usually required. All course must be MA 500+, with at least half being MA 700+. PhD students in Pure & Applied Mathematics must also take the MA Preliminary Exam and pass it at the PhD level. This is typically completed at the end of your first year. Later on, each student need to complete their PhD qualifying exam. This oral examination is three hours long and covers two areas of graduate study as well as a specialized topic within one of these areas. The examination in each of the two main areas is based on at least a full year of 700-level coursework. Currently, the department offers examinations in the following areas: algebra, algebraic geometry, applied mathematics, analysis, differential equations, differential geometry, differential and algebraic topology, dynamical systems, functional analysis, number theory, probability, logic, partial differential equations, and numerical analysis. The Qualifying Examination must be completed within the first three years of the student?s graduate-level studies. A detailed handout on the Qualifying Examination is given to entering graduate students. Internships can be done during the summer. Once a student has fulfilled their coursework requirements and passed their exams, internships can be done during the Fall and Spring semesters, as well.

Online option was available during 2020. Now available in a limited capacity for international students who can't be here for visa reasons. MS in Biostatistics program is 32 credits with 8 credits of electives; qualifying exams are taken in second year of program, one in theory and one applied. MS in Applied Biostatistics is 34 credits, and has a required internship and research rotation.

32 credits post-masters or 64 credits post-bachelors. 20 hour per week paid research assistantship. 2 qualifying exams taken during second year of program, one applied and one theoretical.

For more detailed information about our graduate program, please see our graduate handbook (https://math.byu.edu/?page_id=378).

All students are required to fulfill a graduate exam requirement. This may be done via written exams or by courses taken and passed.
