Master of Science in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (Course based)

University of Alberta

The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Finance, Mathematical Physics, Statistics, Biostatistics, Data Science, Statistical Machine Learning, and Modelling, Data, and Predictions. Currently there is no course-based MSc program in Statistical Machine Learning, no thesis-based MSc or PhD programs in Modelling, Data, and Predictions, and no PhD program in Biostatistics. Prospective graduate students should consult the Department about facilities available and the background required for the field in which they are interested. The course-based MSc degree is primarily intended as a terminal degree, to be followed by employment in a related occupation. Course-based MSc students are not provided funding. Students who plan to continue to a PhD program are encouraged to enter the thesis-based MSc program.
