Core Examinations in Statistics
|
As explained below, the student will take two written examinations
on the first core courses in the program of study.
The student must successfully complete these courses or their
equivalent before taking the examinations. In the case of a failure
in any part of the core examinations, only one reexamination is
normally allowed. Should a student faily only one part of the three
parts of the core examinations, then the reexamination would be on
that part only and given at a time convenient to the student and the
committees involved. Should a student fail two or three parts of the
core examinations, then the reexamination would be on all three parts
and will be given only at a regularly scheduled time for the core
examinations. Failure on any part of the reexamination constitutes
failure on the core examinations.

Regularly scheduled times for the core examinations are February of each year, and October only in the case they are needed for December graduation. Pass or fail will be determined by a majority vote of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The core examinations are as follows:
