Graduate programs are available leading to Master of Science in Statistics, Master of Statistics, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Both master's programs usually re- quire two years of course work including material covered in STA 6207, 6208, 6326, 6327, 6246, 6247. Students wishing an emphasis in biostatistics are not required to take STA 6247 but must take STA 6176, 6177. In addition to passing the master's comprehensive examination, require- ments for the Ph.D. degree include STA 6466, 6467, 7346, 7347, and MAA 5228.
