Application and Admission

Qualified UNC Greensboro undergraduate students who are pursuing the B.A. in Mathematics, the B.S. in Mathematics, or the B.S. in Statistics may apply for admission to the Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) and the M.S. in Applied Statistics program. A cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5 based on at least 30 credits earned at UNC Greensboro is required. Applicants must have completed at least 60 credits and may not apply for admission to the AMP before the first semester of the junior year. All applicants must submit the Accelerated Master's Program information when applying for admission to the M.S. in Applied Statistics.

Courses

Admitted students may apply up to 12 credits of graduate-level course work toward completion of both the undergraduate and graduate degree, provided that they earn a grade of B (3.0) or better in the course and fulfill graduate-level requirements. The graduate courses the student will take within the Accelerated Master's Program in Applied Statistics must be approved by the Graduate Program Director, must be specified on the Accelerated Master's Program request, and must be selected from the following list. 

STA 602Statistical Methods for Data Analytics3
STA 606Solving Problems with Data Analytics3
STA 631Introduction to Probability3
STA 632Introduction to Mathematical Statistics3
STA 642Statistical Computing3
STA 670Categorical Data Analysis3

Please consult with your undergraduate advisor to determine how the courses taken at the graduate level will meet requirements in the bachelor's degree program. All requirements for the M.S. in Applied Statistics remain the same.
