"The department offers programs of study leading to the
degrees of Master of Science (with or without a thesis) and Doctor of
Philosophy. All graduate students are required to take courses in each of
the three basic areas of statistical inference, probability and stochastic
processes, and linear models and design. The Ph.D. program also includes
course work in advanced inference and probability and in other selected
areas, according to the student's needs and goals. The Ph.D. degree
prepares the student for university teaching and research, as well as
consulting and research roles in industry and government, and usually
requires four to five years of study."
