While this program is intended to be completed in one year, students may opt to complete the program in two years on a part-time basis. Part-time students take just two courses per semester (instead of four).

Call II and Linear Algebra. You must have these prerequisites, as each course in the master’s program in statistics and data science builds on concepts from Cal II and Linear Algebra. In special cases, some courses may qualify as a substitution at the discretion of Program Director Dr. Mikyoung Jun ( mjun@central.uh.edu ).

Having some experience with R and/or Python is very helpful as there are many courses dedicated to Statistics with R.

We do not accept the GMAT; however, the GRE is optional.

All courses are taught in the afternoon and evening. Please see this page for a typical Spring Semester course schedule.

Some courses are “hybrid”—they meet once a week (instead of the traditional 2–3 times a week). For example, the Probability/Statistics and the Information Visualization courses from Spring 2019 are hybrid courses. Some classes are offered with a synchronous online section.

No. None of our courses are completely online. You must be present on campus to complete the program. Some courses are hybrid. See above for more information about hybrid courses.
