The University of Connecticut, StatisticsM.S. program emphasizes applied statistics and requires students to take at least one course in areas of application. The plan of study for this degree may be formulated with related work in almost any area, e.g., Biology, Business, Economics, Nutrition, and Psychology to name a few.

Individuals with a Bachelor’s degree in any major, with a background in mathematics and statistics are encouraged to apply.

In general, three semesters of full time study, normally four courses per semester, are required to complete the MS degree, although it is possible for a student with a strong background to finish in one year.

A student holding an assistantship, or who is otherwise prevented from carrying a full load of graduate work, generally requires an additional semester to finish.
