CORE COURSES FOR THE MS STATISTICS PROGRAM

• Mathematical Statistics I must be taken before Mathematical Statistics II
• Mathematical Statistics I, Analysis of Variance, and Regression Analysis can be taken in any order. 
• Mathematical Statistics I and Regression Analysis are offered only in the Fall semester; Mathematical Statistics II and Analysis of Variance are offered only in the Spring semester.
  
• Each of these courses has prerequisites. (See below)
• Other courses with the same or similar name (or even using the same textbook) may not be equivalent courses.

• For Mathematical Statistics I: M 362K (Probability I) and M 378K (Introduction to Mathematical Statistics) or the equivalent.
• For Matheamtical Statistics II: M 384C
  
• For Analysis of Variance: M 378K or M 358K or equivalent upper division undergraduate or  graduate statistics course with a probability prerequisite.
• For Regression Analysis: M 378K or M 358K or equivalent upper division undergraduate or  graduate statistics course with a probability prerequisite. Some familiarity with linear algebra ( e.g., multiplying matrices, understanding matrix inverses, linear dependence and independence) is also required.
• Please note that the prerequisite for Mathematical Statistics I is stronger than that for Analysis of Variance and Regression Analysis. Thus a student who enters the program without an undergraduate course in mathematical statistics should take M 378K their first year, and delay taking Mathematical Statistics I until M 378K has been completed.
