Combined Bachelor's/Master's Program in Statistics

Miami University

Statistics academic programs offer students the opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of data analysis, data science, and mathematical statistics. As a discipline that plays a crucial role in various fields, including finance, healthcare, social sciences, and technology, statistics equips students with essential skills to interpret and draw meaningful conclusions from data. These academic programs provide a solid foundation enabling students to navigate the complex landscape of data-driven decision-making.

The Department of Statistics participates in Miami University's combined Bachelor's/Master's program. Highly-qualified students from any undergraduate major can concurrently work toward a master's degree in statistics and may count up to 9 graduate hours toward both degrees. Upon completion of all degree requirements, the bachelors and masters degrees are awarded simultaneously.

With careful advance planning, this combined program can significantly reduce the time to successful completion of a masters degree.

Our mission is to:

ensure that all students who take STA courses become intelligent users of statistical information;

educate and prepare undergraduate students in our programs for employment and/or graduate study;

extend the statistical expertise of our graduate students so they are prepared for employment or doctoral study;

advance the knowledge base in the statistical sciences by adapting, extending, and enhancing current methodology as well as by developing new statistical methodology and applications;

ensure that high quality and appropriate statistical methodology is used by fellow researchers at Miami University;

contribute to the ongoing operation of the University at the Departmental, Divisional, and University levels by being valuable members of the University community; and

contribute to the community of professional statisticians by engagement with the life and activities of professional statistical societies.
