To complete the Applied Mathematics M.S. degree with  Statistics emphasis with or without a thesis, a student must satisfy all of the requirements  for the M.S. in Applied Mathematics and the following courses must be included in the plan of study. 

STAT 5346 (Regression Analysis),
STAT 5643 (Probability and Statistics),
STAT 5644 (Mathematical Statistics),
Any Computational Statistics Course.

Without Thesis

The program consists of a minimum of 33 hours of graduate credit over and above all prerequisites. At least nine semester hours of credit must be in lecture courses at the 400 level. It is recommended that at least six semester hours be devoted to courses outside the major department. The candidate must pass a final comprehensive examination that mainly covers statistics courses. The comprehensive examination may be waived for students who pass the Ph.D. qualifying examination. In these cases, students must take the Ph.D. qualifying examination at a time described in the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination description (and no later than the beginning of the semester in which they are awarded the M.S.). In such cases it will be possible for the student to pass at the M.S. level but not pass at the Ph.D. qualifying level. See the Graduate Catalog for more details.

With Thesis

The program consists of a minimum of 30 hours of graduate credit over and above all prerequisites.  At least six semester hours of credit must be in lecture courses at the 400 level. A minimum of six hours and a maximum of twelve hours must be devoted to graduate research (Math 490) toward the thesis. The thesis topic must either be in an area of statistics or an application that makes substantial use of statistics.  See the Graduate Catalog for more details.
