Core Examinations in Statistics
|
As explained below, the student will take two written examinations on the five 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. A student who fails
any part of the core examinations cannot apply for a reexamination until four months from the date of the original
test. Should a student fail only one of the two core examinations as defined below, then the reexamination would be
on that part only. Should a student fail both of the core examinations, then the reexamination would be on all the
core courses. Failure on any part of the reexamination constitutes failure on the core examinations.

Pass or fail is determined by a majority vote of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The core examinations are as follows:
