Assistantships
The Department of Statistics offers graduate assistantships to a number of its students each year on a competitive basis. Full and half appointments are offered, with assigned duties either on or off campus. Recently, some of our graduate assistantships have been funded externally. Students in these positions spend two days per week off campus performing specialized work for the funding agency.
Assistantship Duties
Most of our graduate assistants are assigned duties on campus. These students may:
- Assist in one or more statistics classes by some combination of the following: grading, holding office hours, providing help sessions, leading small group sections, or otherwise assisting a professor.
- Assist with projects in the Statistical Consulting Center.
- Work in some other capacity, e.g., as a research assistant.
Appointment Levels
Full assistantships require 16-20 hours of work per week. In return, the student receives a 100% tuition waiver and a stipend for living expenses. Half assistantships require 8-10 hours of work per week and provide a 50% tuition waiver and half stipend. In addition, all graduate assistants receive a 100% out-of-state surcharge waiver.

Undergraduate Opportunities
Undergraduate students may also wish to enroll in the combined BS/MS program in Statistics which allows students to pursue a master degree in an accelerated manner while pursuing their bachelor’s degree.
Admission Requirements and Information
Requirements
- Undergraduate degree with at least a 3.00 (of 4.00) grade point average.
- At a minimum, the student should have strong performance in three semesters of calculus, one semester of linear algebra, and a probability / mathematical statistics course. (Note that we do not require that the undergraduate degree be in statistics or mathematics.)
Spring Admission
Spring admission is only granted in very rare circumstances for students having unusually strong prior course backgrounds, and assistantship funding is generally unavailable for these students. If you wish to apply for spring admission, please contact the graduate director for advice before submitting an application.
