General Advising Tips
- 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.
