Program Description
Program Description
- The Master of Arts (M.A) in Statistics at the University of California is a 1-year program.
- It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis.

- In the second semester, students will take an advanced course in modern applied statistics (STAT 230), an elective, and a capstone course.
- The capstone will consist of a team-based learning experience that will give students the opportunity to work on a real-world problem and carry out a substantial data analysis project.

- Shortly before or immediately after the start of spring classes in January, students will take a comprehensive exam on the theoretical foundations of statistics.
- There will be a two-hour exam on the material of 201A and on the material of 201B. All students taking the exam will receive copies of previous examinations.
