The Accelerated BS/MS in Statistics is part of the Accelerated Degree Pathway Program at UA.
There are 9 graduate course hours that can count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees, to be taken during the fourth year of study (senior year).
Any overlapping courses taken in the fourth year of study will be charged at the undergraduate rate (giving you significant financial savings!)
Any of the 3 BS pathways (Statistics, Data Science, and Actuarial Science) are viable undergraduate degrees to pair with an MS.
Application to the program should be completed early in the spring semester of the junior year (or second semester of the third year).
To remain eligible, students must maintain a 3.30 cumulative GPA and remain in good academic standing.
