Facilities Graduate students have access to all the campus computing facilities, including a departmental micro computer lab. The University Library has an excellent collection of books and research journals in statistics, mathematics, and areas of application. Course Offerings Our entire degree program may be taken in the late afternoon and evenings.
Some elective courses are available only in the daytime.
At the present time, coursestoward the Statistics degree are offered only on the main campus in Hayward. Course work in other fields can be considered for inclusion in an individual's program. If these courses have not been completed recently, a review of 2304 is advised. It is also recommended that students have completed a lower-division course in linear algebra, such as Mathematics 2101. Students planning to continue study at the doctoral level should seek advice about which mathematics courses are recommended.
