Combined Bachelors/Masters Degree Program
The Combined Bachelors/Masters Degree Program is designed for superior
students who have the ability to pursue an accelerated program in statistics
leading to a Master of Statistics degree.
Program Features
The main feature of the program is that up to 15 semester hours of approved
graduate level statistics courses may be used as dual credit for both the
undergraduate and graduate degree. All other requirements for both the
Bachelor's degree and the Master's degree must be met.
Admission to the Program
Requirements for admission to this program are:
- 1. A computation score of 700 or above on the SAT,
- 2. Completion of at least 24 semester hours at the University
of Florida with a GPA of 3.25 or better,
- 3. Completion of at least 12 credits of mathematics and/or statistics courses
in the undergraduate statistics major program at the University of
Florida with a GPA of 3.5 or better,
- 4. Approval of the Statistics Undergraduate Committee. Admission
to the Program does not grant admission to the Graduate School at a later
date.
Retention in the Program
In order to maintain good standing in this program, the student is required
to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better in all course work, and a
GPA of 3.5 or better in 4000-level statistics course work and a 3.0 in graduate statistics coursework.
Admittance to Graduate School
After completing 90 hours and before completing 110 hours of course work, the
student is required to take the Graduate Record Examination and obtain
admittance to The Graduate School. Upon admittance to The Graduate
School, the student becomes eligible to apply for a teaching assistantship
in the Statistics Department. If not admitted to The Graduate School,
the student will not be permitted to continue in the Program.
Awarding of Degrees
Upon completion of all requirements for the Bachelor of Science or the
Bachelor of Arts degree, such degree will be awarded the student by the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Subsequently, after the student has
completed the requirements for the Master of Statistics
degree (including the dual credit courses), such degree will be awarded the
student by The Graduate School.
Sample Schedule For A Combined Program
The sample program below is conservative in that only 12 hours are used for
dual credit, STA 6207-8 and STA 6326-7. An example in which 15
hours are given dual credit might substitute a 6000 level statistics elective for one of the undergraduate statistics electives.
