Knowledge of a sequence of core courses is required for all Ph.D. students.

These courses are 5585-5685 (Mathematical Statistics), 5505-5605 (Applied Statistics), 5725, 6694 (Linear Models), 6315, 6515 (Theory of Statistics), 6325-6894 (Measure Theory and Probability Theory), 5515 (Design of Experiments), giving a total of 33 credits for core courses. Additional credits can be earned from the list of elective courses. With regard to the University requirement under Foreign Language, related or supporting area of study, Ph.D. students are encouraged to take courses in Computer Science and Mathematics, as well as in application areas such as Biology or Economics.
