Combined MS in Statistics/Graduate Certificate in Data Science

Group of students in a classroom with laptops listening to a lecture

The Department of Statistics works in conjunction with the Data Science Program to offer a combined Master of Science in Statistics and Graduate Certificate in Data Science degree program. The combined program allows students to complete the master’s degree on an accelerated timeline by double-counting six credits toward both degrees.

Students in the combined program must complete four data science courses, four statistics courses and six additional upper-level statistics elective courses. To apply, students must submit a dual enrollment application form through the Columbian College.
