Energy, Environmental, and Mineral Economics (ENNEC)

PROFESSOR ADAM Z. ROSE, Head of the Department

This program combines training in economics, physical sciences, management sciences, and quantitative methods, with a core of courses centering on the energy, environmental, mineral and material industries. The field helps prepare students for careers in industry, government, financial institutions, consulting firms, or international organizations. The curriculum also provides a strong base for further graduate study in business, economics, law, social sciences, and environmental sciences.

The Energy, Environmental, and Mineral Economics curriculum allows the student to pursue a special interest appropriate to his or her career objectives. The core courses program covers minerals in the environment, energy and environmental policy, materials markets, risk management, finance, and applications of statistical techniques to two options: (1) Nonrenewable Resource and Environmental Economics and (2) Minerals and Energy Business.

Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., MS, MBA

The Master of Business Administration program is a professional degree designed to prepare individuals for managerial positions in business, government, and nonprofit institutions. The MBA curriculum blends technical rigor, managerial theory, and integrative learning experiences through case studies and other teaching methods. A managerial communications course is fully integrated into the program.

The Master of Science in Business Administration program is highly flexible and designed for advanced study in a specialized field. The MS program is directed toward the development of competency within a defined area of management. Fields such as accounting, business logistics, finance, insurance, marketing, management science, and real estate are examples of career opportunities requiring specialized knowledge and skill, including research.

The Doctor of Philosophy degree in the Business Administration program offers advanced graduate education for students contemplating careers in academic teaching and research in non-university settings. The faculty of the college views the Ph.D. as evidencing scholarship at the highest level.

Admission Requirements
Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Applicants to any of the graduate programs in Business Administration are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), which is administered by the Educational Testing Service throughout a year. For dates, locations, and other information about the test, write for the Bulletin of Information, Graduate Management Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08540; www.gmat.org; 800-982-6740.

Criteria for evaluating applicants include professional and academic accomplishments, GMAT scores, recommendations, and personal data from application forms that provide indications of future academic and professional accomplishment.

Work on the MBA degree may be started fall semester only. MS and Ph.D. candidates may begin either the fall or spring semester. Individuals from all undergraduate disciplines are encouraged to apply.

While admission to the doctoral program does not require the applicant to hold a master's degree, that is ordinarily the case.

Master's Degree Requirements
The MBA program consists of two distinct portions: (1) preprogram competency expectations, including accounting, economics, mathematics, and statistics; and (2) 48 credits of graduate courses. Individuals who did not have adequate preparation in accounting, economics, mathematics, and statistics in their undergraduate programs are expected to develop the required minimum level of competency before graduate study can begin. The time required to complete this graduate program, based on full-time study, is eighteen months. The student body is divided into diverse sections of approximately fifty to sixty students, with each section proceeding through the same core classes each semester. Emphasis is placed on student interaction and shared learning both inside and outside the classroom.

The MS program consists of two distinct portions: (1) approximately 33 acceptable undergraduate foundation credits in business administration, economics, and mathematics; and (2) 30 graduate credits in business administration or related areas, including a paper or thesis. An applicant may be admitted without foundation courses, but they must be made up without degree credit. A professional paper and 3 additional credits of graduate-level course work can be substituted for the thesis. The time required to complete the graduate portion of this program, based on full-time study, is twelve to fifteen months.

Other Degree Programs
QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING MANAGEMENT MASTERS PROGRAM (QMM)--The QMM program is an integrated, one-year academic program requiring 30 credits and leading to a master's degree in Manufacturing Management. The Penn State College of Engineering and The Smeal College of Business Administration have jointly developed this curriculum so as to integrate the viewpoints and fundamentals of the disciplines on engineering and business as applied to quality and manufacturing management. The objective of the QMM program is to develop graduates who are prepared to assume leadership positions in manufacturing and to contribute through functional integration to the firm's competitiveness in global markets.

MBA/M.H.A. CONCURRENT DEGREE PROGRAM--The MBA Program of The Smeal College of Business Administration and the Department of Health Policy and Administration of the College of Health and Human Development offer a concurrent degree program that will enable a student to finish in two academic years both a master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) and a master's degree in Health Administration (M.H.A.). An MBA/M.H.A. graduate will be well-grounded in business management, health management, and the skills and expertise associated with functional areas of health services management. During the two academic years and intervening summer, the student will complete 63 credits of course work and a professional internship of 400 hours in a health care organization.

FIVE-YEAR SCIENCE B.S./MBA PROGRAM--This program is the result of collaboration between the Eberly College of Science and The Smeal College of Business Administration. With the accelerated nature of the program, students can earn a BS degree in science and an MBA degree in five calendar years after graduation from high school.

Degrees Conferred: M.S.
Operating under the auspices of the School of Business Administration, Penn State Harrisburg's master's degree program in information systems is designed to meet the rapidly increasing need for technically grounded, upper-level information resources managers within business organizations. With the exception of a small percentage of students who are full-time, the students served by the MS/IS program are employees of area businesses, state and local governments, and not-for-profit organizations, who study on a part-time basis. In order to accommodate both full and part-time students, courses are primarily offered in the evening.

The twofold nature of the program requires a manager to have competence both in information technology and in management theory; therefore, the curriculum combines the highly technical content of information science with the managerial emphasis of information systems. Unlike computer science programs, which tend to focus on computer hardware and architecture, this program is organized around applied computer-based activities, the development of communication skills, and managerial principles.

Admission Requirements
Those wishing to apply to the program must hold a baccalaureate degree in any field from an accredited, college-level institution. Decisions are based primarily on undergraduate junior-senior grade point average and the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores. Post-baccalaureate course work, professional experience, and the statements provided in the application are also taken into account.

Students are also required to submit the following:
· a completed application form with application fee;
· two copies of official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended;
· official scores from the GMAT test (the test must have been taken within the past five years);
· letters of recommendation (optional);
· supplemental application.

--An application is available on the web at www.hbg.psu.edu or by calling 717-948-6250.

All International applicants whose first language is not English or who have not received baccalaureate or master's degrees from an institution in which the language of instruction is English must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language: www.toefl.org) and submit the results of that test with the application for admission. A TOEFL score of 550 (paper based test) or 213 (computer based test) or higher is required for admission.

International Student Deadlines:
Fall - June 30
Spring - October 31
Summer - March 15

Domestic Student Deadlines:
Fall - July 18
Spring - November 18
Summer - April 18

Entrance into the Program
Candidates may enter the program at the beginning of the fall, spring, or summer session. To allow time for applications to be processed, all information, including GMAT score, must be received by Enrollment Services no later than July 18 for admission to the fall semester, November 18 for admission to the spring semester, and April 18 for admission to the summer session.

Mathematics Requirement: Prior to enrolling in their MSIS/IS course work, students are required to demonstrate competence in quantitative skills. This may be demonstrated by: (l) satisfactory completion of a college-level calculus course such as QUANT 310 Mathematical Methods in the Social and Managerial Sciences or (2) successful completion of a mathematics proficiency examination approved by the MS/IS program. This requirement must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of C or better.

Credit by Examination: Interested students should obtain a Credit By Examination form from Enrollment Services and should consult with mathematics faculty in the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology to schedule the exam and obtain a list of suggested preparatory materials.

Computer Requirement: Students are required to demonstrate competence through a college-level microcomputer applications course within the past six years (and passed with at least a B) or significant work experience. If this requirement has not been met, a college-level microcomputer course, such as INFSY 305 Microcomputers in Business, is required. Course work must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or better.

Proficiency in Writing: The MS/IS program requires the ability to think clearly and write effectively. If a score of "4" or more on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is not achieved, then the student will need to satisfy this requirement through an English workshop, ENGL 5013, work in college-level English and/or other remedial work taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or better. ENGL 5013 is provided through continuing education at an additional fee.

Although students in the MS/IS program are not required to have prior course work in business administration for admission, given that each student will interact within the business community, he/she needs to be familiar with a number of business-related topics. The ability to understand financial accounting and how people relate to others in various organizations helps to merge two related disciplines: business and information systems. Business statistics, the other core prerequisite, provide skills necessary to the comprehension of the literature in the field.

These requirements may be satisfied by prior undergraduate or graduate course work completed with a grade of "B" or better within seven years prior to admission, or graduate work completed after admission, or college-level course work validated by recent work experience. Coursework not meeting these tests of relevancy, grade or currency, must be taken at the graduate level and early in Program.

Graduate Business Core Courses Offered at Penn State Harrisburg:
BUS 501. Statistical Analysis For Business Decisions
MNGMT 510. Organizational Behavior
P ACC 501. Financial Statement Analysis

Transfer Credits and Course Waivers
Up to 10 transfer credits may be applied toward the degree. These courses must have been taken within the past five years, appear on a graduate transcript, and have been passed with a B grade or better. It must be the opinion of the reviewing faculty that these courses are equivalent in quality to those offered at Penn State Harrisburg. Credit will not be given for any class used to complete a previous degree.

Course Waivers
Waivers are given for prerequisite courses and are based on undergraduate course work or credits earned in an equivalent graduate-level program at a regionally accredited, college-level institution. These courses are waived without replacement according to the guidelines stated above. Students will be informed of this in a letter received from the program office.

Course Substitutions
Except for INFSY 554, which must be taken at the College, INFSY prescribed and additional courses, in cases where there is equivalent knowledge, must be replaced with more advanced courses in the same field. Substitutions are based on a minimum of six credits of advanced undergraduate coursework in an area of concentration or credits earned in an equivalent graduate-level program at an accredited, college-level institution. These courses must have been completed within the past five years and have earned a grade of "B" or better. Required courses must be replaced with other advanced graduate courses in the field for which the replaced course is the foundation/prerequisite. Additional courses in the program should be replaced with other courses in this category. Substitutions are based on past academic performance. An examination cannot be used for earned graduate course credit.

Graduation Requirements
The MS/IS program requires, excluding prerequisite requirements, 30 credits of course work at the graduate level (500-level or higher).

These are distributed over three groups of courses; Prescribed courses, Additional courses, and Electives. A minimum of 30 credits of course work, all at the graduate level, is required.

The program which until spring 1997 was called Mineral Economics, helps students to apply economic analysis to energy, environmental, and mineral problems, particularly those relevant to long-term development. Students may work in such areas as nonrenewable resource and environmental economics (policy, area studies, or global change); commodity market analysis (energy, minerals, or materials); energy economics (conventional and alternative fuels, regulation, or economy and environmental interactions); business economics (management, market research, or finance); or operations research and econometrics (resource allocation, decision theory, forecasting, or model building).

Enrollment is kept at levels that ensure that students work closely on their research with the faculty and can interact regularly with each other. MS training leads to employment opportunities in consulting firms; government agencies; environmental affairs; and businesses concerned with the extraction, processing, or use of materials broadly defined. The Ph.D. program is oriented toward research careers in universities, government, and industry.

Admission Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission test (GMAT) are required for admission. Requirements listed here in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin. Applicants are encouraged to complete their files (including test scores) by February 15 to receive maximum consideration for financial aid.

The program is designed to accommodate students with either a science and engineering or a social science background. Admission to the master's degree program is largely determined on the basis of achievement of a junior/senior grade point average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale), above average scores on the GRE or GMAT, and prior course work in intermediate microeconomics, fundamentals of statistics, and calculus. A prior masters's degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program. Admission to the Ph.D. program requires a 3.50 or better in the applicant's prior degree program, strong GRE or GMAT scroes, and previous course preparation. Separate admissions requirements are maintained for the two groups. Requirements for admission for those with science or engineering backgrounds are 24 credits in chemistry, physics, mathematics, or statistics; 12 in the earth sciences; 9 in economics, mineral or environmental economics, commerce, business administration, or industrial management; and 6 in engineering subjects. Those with social science backgrounds should have 12 credits in economics, mineral or environmental economics, or business administration; 6 in earth sciences; and 9 in mathematics and statistics. However, at the discretion of the program, a student may be admitted provisionally without all of these requirements.

Students with deficiencies of 9 credits or fewer in either program may be admitted as degree candidates but will be required to make up such deficiencies without these credits being applicable toward the advanced degree. Admission to the Master's program is largely determined on the basis of achievement of a junior/senior grade point average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale), above-average scores on the GRE or GMAT, and appropriate prior course work. Students meeting these requirements will be admitted so long as space is available. A prior master's degree is not required for admission to the Ph.D. program. Admission to the Ph.D. program requires a 3.50 or better in the applicant's prior degree program, strong GRE or GMAT scores, and previous course preparation.

Degree Requirements
The core courses in energy, environmental, and mineral economics, economics, statistics, and other related fields are similar for all graduate students. At the MS level, the core courses in the department and in the Department of Economics constitute much of the program requirements. constitute almost the entire program, and students without sufficient prior work find that they must earn 35 to 40 credits to meet these requirements. In addition to the normal degree requirements of the Graduate School, candidates for the MS degree must write a thesis or professional paper and defend it orally. MS students are required to take 9 to 12 credits in mathematics, statistics and computer science either before admission or as courses taken in addition to the minimum required for the MS degree.

The Ph.D. program offers opportunities for students to receive training in advanced theory and application of economic analysis and to undertake independent, high-level research. extend work in either the technical or economic area. For students who have a master's degree in a related area, prior graduate work is considered to fulfill the requirement for work in related fields, and further work consists mainly of satisfying specific course requirements. Doctoral candidates must complete at least 15 credits in economics (including courses used for admission).

The candidacy examination for the doctorate is oral. The oral examination for the MS degree at Penn State may be used as the candidacy examination for the doctorate. If that is done, the MS examination is more detailed and broader in scope than it would be for the MS alone. The comprehensive examination for the doctorate includes written examinations in the core program and special fields in addition to the oral examination required by the Graduate School. The communication requirement is satisfied by departmentally approved courses in statistics and mathematics. There is no foreign language requirement.

(A master's degree is offered only to persons interested in studying for a doctorate.)

This interdisciplinary graduate program in the College of Health and Human Development is administered through the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. It focuses on the developmental study of individuals, small groups, and families for the purposes of expanding basic knowledge and professional application. The perspective encompasses the individual life span, from infancy and childhood through later maturity and old age, as well as the full cycle of the family. For both individual and family, the perspective includes variations in functioning patterns and the use of resources; the impact of diverse social, economic, and cultural contexts upon behavior; conditions that promote adaptive individual, group, and family development; and the creation of techniques of accomplishing human development. Emphasis is upon the integration of knowledge from various fields for understanding and developing skills for careers in research and scholarship, teaching, program planning and evaluation, and other professional services. The faculty includes persons primarily in the behavioral and social sciences particularly committed to research and application in these multi- and interdisciplinary areas.

The student's program is expected to include work assuring both breadth in the major field and depth within one of three program areas: family development, human development intervention, or individual development. Further specialization is possible in adult development and aging, biological bases of behavior, child and adolescent development, cognitive development and functioning, early childhood services, family economics and management, family relationships, integrative theories of human development, interpersonal relationships, developmental methodology, and social-emotional development and change.

The Child Development/Child Services Laboratory is operated as part of the teaching and research program. Each of three units has observational facilities and rooms for study of individual and group behavior of children and adults. The Individual and Family Consultation Center provides facilities for the development and evaluation of educational programs for remediation of individual and family problems by professional and paraprofessional persons. The Center for the Study of Child and Adolescent Development and the Gerontology Center provide opportunities for participation in research and evaluation projects. Additional resources are available in other parts of the University.

Admission Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Entering students should have at least 6 credits in the biological and physical sciences; 12 in the social sciences and, depending upon proposed area of emphasis, basic courses in sociology, psychology, and economics; and 6 in developmental and family studies. Students not meeting these requirements may be admitted with limited deficiencies to be made up concurrently with their graduate work.

Students with a 3.00 junior/senior average (on a 4.00 scale) and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission for fall semester only. Early application is required, and a special application to HD FS must be completed; additional information can be obtained from the professor in charge of Graduate Recruitment and Interdisciplinary Training. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.

Degree Requirements
All students must take a three-course (9 credit) introduction to the fundamental philosophical, theoretical, methodological, and professional issues in the study of human development and family studies: HD FS 501 (Human Development Across the Lifespan), HD FS 503 (Human Development Intervention: Analysis of Theories and approaches), and HD FS 525 (Introduction to Family Studies). During the first two years students also must take 2 credits in a sequence on professional development (HD FS 515). In addition, master's students must take a 7-credit research methodology core, and Ph.D. students must take an 19-credit research methodology core. For master's students, all required methods courses are required core courses (HD FS 516, 518, 519, 526, 536), and the other 6 credits may be satisfied by selections from a variety of (elective) courses approved by the doctoral committee. Master's students must also take a minimum of 9 elective credits in course work (400 and 500 level) to develop their substantive expertise, 6 of which must be in HD FS (excluding independent study). Use should be made of courses in other parts of the college and University to build substantive competence in the program. The communication and foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree may be satisfied by options selected from designated areas including, but not restricted to, foreign languages.

29-07-048 Add new Dual-Title Graduate Degrees in Women's Studies.

Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2001

DUAL-TITLE GRADUATE DEGREES IN WOMEN'S STUDIES

Degrees Conferred
Students electing this program through participating departments will earn a degree with a dual title at both the Ph.D. and M.A./M.S. levels, i.e., Ph.D. in (graduate program name) and Women's Studies, or MA/MS in (graduate program name) and Women's Studies.

Program Description
Dual-title degrees grounded both in Women's Studies and a given discipline will acknowledge and foster scholarly work across disciplines. A dual-title degree program will increase the intellectual rigor and breadth of graduate work through immersion of candidates in Women's Studies and their discipline. The dual-title degree will also provide a context in which students can learn to synthesize knowledge within and across disciplinary boundaries. In addition, a dual-title degree program provides students with an opportunity for increased work within a pedagogical framework that also encourages an interdisciplinary approach to teaching.

The primary advantages of dual-title degrees include the intellectual and academic advantages of interdisciplinarity, strengthening the reputation of individual programs/departments through innovative degree programs, increased recruitment of quality graduate students, and improved placement of doctoral graduates.

The dual-title degree programs do not duplicate other degree programs in the University.

Admissions Requirements
In addition to the admission requirements set forth by the Graduate School and the cooperating department, students will be admitted to graduate study in Women's Studies by an admissions committee of Women's Studies-affiliated faculty. The Women's Studies program will follow the timetable and admission requirements of the cooperating department. Applicants should have a junior/senior cumulative average of at least 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) and appropriate course background should be considered for study. It is required that prospective students seeking admission to a dual-title degree program will write a statement of purpose that addresses the ways in which their research and professional goals will reflect an interest in interdisciplinary and feminist research.

Degree Requirements
The dual-title degree will have requirements above those for the graduate minor, which currently requires 9 credit hours for the MA/MS and 15 credit hours for the Ph.D. The requirements for the dual-title degree include increased coursework, additional components to the comprehensive exams at the doctoral level, and the completion of women's studies related theses at both the masters and doctoral level. Degree requirements for dual-title degrees in Political Science, French, History, English and Education will be added to the Graduate Handbook.

Master's Degree
Nine required credits (WMNST 507, 501, 502)
Three additional credits of Women's Studies course work
Thesis on a Women's Studies-related topic, or another three additional credits of Women's Studies course work and a Master's Essay will be approved by the student's committee.

Ph.D. Degree
Nine required credits (WMNST 507, 501, 502)

29-07-049 Add new Master of Applied Statistics.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2002

STATISTICS (STAT)

JAMES L. ROSENBERGER, Head of the Department
326 Thomas Building
814-865-1348

Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., M.S., M.A., M.A.S.

Graduate instruction and research opportunities are available in most areas of statistics and probability, including linear models, nonparametric statistics, robustness, statistical computing, analysis of count data, multivariate analysis, experimental design, reliability, stochastic processes and probability (applied and theoretical), distribution theory, statistical ecology, and biometrics.

Graduate students can gain practical experience in the application of statistical methodology through participation in the department's statistical consulting center and collaborative research activities. In addition, collaborative projects with other departments provide longer-tenn experience and support for selected students. Most students gain valuable teaching experience by assisting in the teaching and grading of courses. In addition, Ph.D. candidates with proper qualifications can receive support for teaching undergraduate courses.

The Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S) program is a professional degree designed to provide training in statistics focused on developing data analysis skills, and exploration of all core areas of applied statistics, without going deeply into the mathematical statistics foundations. It aims to provide its graduates with broad knowledge in a wide range of statistical application areas.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Science (MS) degrees in Statistics are designed for advanced studies in applied and theoretical statistics. Special emphases include biostatistics, statistical ecology, environmental statistics, genometrics, biometrics and statistical computation. The MA and MS degrees are appropriate preparation for the Department's Ph.D. degree.

Admission Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), or from a comparable substitute examination accepted and authorized by the dean of the Graduate School, are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School
requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

While applications from all students (including those who already have done graduate work) are reviewed, completion of a standard calculus sequence is regarded as a prerequisite. Students with a 3.00 or better junior/senior average (on a 4.00 scale) and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.

Entering graduate students in statistics for whom English is not the first language are required to have a score of at least 550 on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) examination. The results of this examination must be received by the department of Statistics at least six months prior to the requested date of admission to the Graduate School.

Professional Master of Applied Statistics Requirements
For the M.A.S. Degree, a minimum of 30 credits and a minimum grade point average of 3.0 are required for graduation. Of the 30 credits, 24 must be courses from the Statistics department and 21 must be at the 500 level. The candidate must complete 6 credits in applied statistics (STAT 501,502), 6 credits in mathematical statistics (STAT 414, 415) and 3 credits in statistical consulting (STAT 580). For all M.A.S. students, the Stat 580 course will have a comprehensive written project report required as part of the course, which serves as the culminating experience. To complete the remaining credit requirements, a candidate can select 9-15 credits from the following applied statistics courses: STAT 464, 480, 500, 503, 504, 505, 506, 508, 509, 510. In addition, students with suitable backgrounds may choose up to 6 credits from a departmental list of additional courses with approval from their advisor.

Master of Arts and Master of Science Degree Requirements
For the MA and MS degrees, a candidate must complete at least 30 credits, including at least 27 at the 500 or 600 level; 21 of the 27 500-level credits must be formal course work from the department of Statistics. A candidate must complete 6 credits in applied statistics (STAT 511, 512), 6 credits in mathematical statistics (STAT 513, 514), 3 credits in stochastic processes (STAT 515) and 3 credits in statistical consulting (STAT 580). The student must also pass a written master's qualifying examination taken at the end of the first year. Finally, an MA candidate must submit an acceptable master's paper to the department, and an MS candidate must submit a thesis.

Doctoral Degree Requirements
In addition to the course requirements for the MA and MS degrees given above, a Ph.D. candidate in Statistics must complete further courses in linear models (STAT 551), asymptotic tools (STAT 597D), statistical inference (STAT 561, 562), and advanced probability (STAT 517), as well as 15 credits of electives taken from STAT 518, 544, 545, 552, 564, 565, and 572, or other courses suggested by the Ph.D. committee and approved by the Graduate Studies Committee. The student also must pass a written Ph.D. qualifying exam typically during the second year, and an oral comprehensive exam given at the end of the third year. The candidate then must submit an acceptable Ph.D. thesis and defend it.

The Ph.D. in Statistics offers options in Biometrics, Biostatistics, Environmental Statistics, and Management Science and Information Systems. The course and the examination requirements remain the same under these options, however, the candidate must take 15 credits from a list of courses identified by the option.

Other Relevant Information
Students in the Statistics program may elect the dual-title degree program option in Operations Research for the Ph.D. and MS degrees. (See also Operations Research.)
