Ph.D. Minor in Applied Statistics

The Department of Mathematical Sciences in the School of Science at IUPUI offers a master's degree program in math­ematical sciences with a specialization in applied statistics. Accordingly, some doctoral students on the IUPUI campus may find it useful to have a minor in applied statistics as an ad­ditional option in their program of study.

Other Degree Offerings

The Department also offers a Ph.D. in mathematics focusing on mathematical statistics as well as a Ph.D. degree in biostatistics which is offered jointly with the Department of Biostatistics of the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health and the IU School of Medicine.

Course Requirements

Twelve credit hours in courses approved for the minor in applied statistics, including STAT 51100, STAT 51200, and six additional credit hours chosen in consultation with the minor representative. For students in medical and molecular genet­ics, a common option would be to take two of the courses from 52300, 52400, 52500 and 53300. Statistical Quality Control (51300) might be a desirable elective for students in pharmacology and toxicology. Students who have successfully completed GRAD G651 Introduction to Biostatistics I and GRAD G652 Introduc­tion to Biostatistics II in the School of Medicine will be exempt­ed from STAT 51100.

Examinations

The exact requirements for the minor and the examination procedure prior to admittance to candidacy are determined by the student's minor representative on his or her advisory com­mittee from the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
