Ph.D. in Statistics - Admission
Admission Requirements
Students must meet all the published
admission requirements of the Graduate School.
*If you do not have a Master's
degree in Statistics (or a closely related field),
you should apply to our Master's Program,
rather than the PhD program.
Deadlines
Important: Students are generally advised to start in the fall semester due to our course sequences. Students are seldom admitted in other semesters.
There are no formal admission deadlines (International applicants please consult the special information and the admission deadlines of the Graduate School), but financial aid deadlines and availability may be of importance. We strongly suggest that applicants apply before March 15 for fall semester enrollment.
