Mathematical Statistics (B.S.) Sample 4-Year Curriculum
Major code: BS3106
Based on 2014-15 University Catalog. Students should check DARS for catalog year and requirements and see their adviser for help.
The following schedule is recommended for students entering the program in the freshman year. However, this is only a recommendation, and those entering the program later or entering with AP credit can easily make adjustments, although students entering at a level below Calculus I can expect to need more than four years to finish. Some upper-level courses may be offered only during specific terms. A minimum of 39 credit hours in the major and a GPA of at least 2.0 are required.
