About the course

Students in the Statistical Science program learn to develop and use statistical methods to provide a probabilistic assessment of the variability in different data structures. This knowledge is applied to the quantification of the uncertainties inherent in the discoveries, summaries, and conclusions that are drawn from the data analysis. The Ph.D. program provides mastery of fundamental concepts in statistical theory and methods, as well as analytical and computational skills to build modern statistical models, implement them, and effectively communicate their results. Through the process of learning these skills, the students develop the ability to conduct independent research. The M.S. program has its own identity, placing emphasis on the application of statistical methods to the solution of relevant scientific, technological and engineering problems, with the goal of preparing students for professional careers. An accelerated B.S./M.S. (41) pathway is available for UCSC undergraduate students. Questions regarding the application process can be directed to the Graduate Advisor. Questions regarding the Statistical Science curriculum and research by Statistics faculty can be directed to the Graduate Director. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships

How to apply

Entry requirements for University of California - Santa Cruz

To be considered for admission to the Santa Cruz campus of the University of California:

　　one must have received a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from an accredited university prior to the quarter for which admission is sought

　　Applicants with a three-year Bachelor’s Degree must also hold a post graduate diploma, Master’s Degree, or a higher degree.

　　and have at least a B average in last two years of undergraduate coursework.

　　Paper-based TOEFL minimum acceptable scores:570,Internet-based TOEFL minimum acceptable scores: 89,IELTS minimum acceptable score: 7.0

　　The GPA is not the only criteria in evaluating transcripts. For most programs, grades in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering and related disciplines (e.g., math, biology, physics) count more than grades in other areas. For the Computational Media MS/PhD, Games & Playable Media MS, and Serious Games MS, courses in areas such as game design, human-computer interaction, digital art, education, or media studies might be equally important (depending on your planned work in the program). We pay particular attention to upper division classes relating to your major. Generally students we have admitted in the past have a GPA in the 3.5 range.
