MS in Statistics
Requirements
M.S. students must complete thirty-six semester hours. Requirements include a statistics core (twelve semester hours), consulting-teaching practicum (three semester hours), and elective courses (twenty-one semester hours). For the M.S.-Ph.D. Masters, students must pass an oral exam. For the professional track, students must complete a capstone project. The Professional Masters may also be completed as part of a 4+1 undergraduate-graduate program with either the B.S. in Statistics from Baylor or a B.A. or B.S. in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics from Baylor.
