Degree Requirements for the M.Sc. Mathematics and Statistics (Statistics)

The candidate shall successfully complete one of the following courses of study:
(a) seven graduate courses, of which at least five must be numbered with the prefix 65-, and a major paper;
(b) six graduate courses, of which at least four must be numbered with the prefix 65-, and a thesis. The originality of a Master's thesis may lie in the organization, presentation, and scholarly evaluation, rather than in the result.

Mathematics and Statistics (Statistics), a Masters committee must be appointed within the student's first term of study at the II Master's (Candidate) level. The Master's committee must be approved by the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
