Entry requirements

For the Master's program, knowledge of multivariable calculus (comparable to MA 242 at NCSU) and matrix algebra (comparable to MA 305 / MA 405 at NCSU) are the minimal requirements for entry. For the PhD program, students are expected to have a good foundation in the material covered in the core courses ( ST 701 , ST 702 , ST 703 , ST 704 and ST 705 ), even if their master’s degree was received at another institution. Some students with previous master’s degrees find it useful to take these courses at NCSU. However, this tends to lengthen the time to degree. Students are also expected to have had a course comparable to MA 425 Mathematical Analysis I at NCSU. Students may apply to either the Master or PhD program directly from a Bachelor’s degree. Entrance exam: None. Interview: None. Application deadlines: Statistics PhD Fall: December 15 (priority); February 15 Statistics (MR, MS) Fall: January 15 (Priority); March 25
