Academic Eligibility:

• To qualify for admission to the MS Statistics program, a student is required to have an undergraduate degree with at least a 3.00 (of 4.00) grade point average. 
• At a minimum, the student should have strong performance in three semesters of calculus, one semester of linear algebra, and a probability / mathematical statistics course. (Note that we do not require that the undergraduate degree is in statistics or mathematics.)
• Applicants for graduate study must have earned at least a 4-year U.S. equivalent Baccalaureate degree. Typically, 16 years of schooling with four years of full-time study at the university level, culminating with the award of a first or second degree. Applicants must submit their academic records/transcripts at the time of application. The Graduate School accepts unofficial transcripts at the time of application and does not require third-party credential evaluations.
• Applicants admitted to Miami University must have an official final transcript from the Baccalaureate institution and all courses attended after. Records issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a literal (not interpretive) certified English translation.
