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.
The program is for full-time students and is designed to be completed in two semesters (fall and spring).
In order to obtain this degree, students must complete a minimum of 24 units of courses and pass a comprehensive examination.
The program focus on tackling statistical challenges encountered by industry rather than preparing for a PhD.
In the first semester, all students will take intensive graduate courses in probability, theoretical statistics, and statistical computing; the typical courses are STAT 201A, 201B, and 243.
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.
All coursework used for the MA must be letter-graded unless the course is only offered on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis. The total of S/U units may only be 2.
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.
University usually recommends 80-90 students per year for admission to achieve an incoming class of 40 students.
The University of California, Berkeley ranks 2^nd in Statistics according to U.S News and World Report.
