For the MS Degree
Applicants are expected to have completed 10 semester-hours of undergraduate calculus ( 640:151, 640:152, and 640:251 if taken at Rutgers, or equivalent), a senior-level rigorous statistical methods course (960:401 or 960:484 if taken at Rutgers, or equivalent), and a course in linear algebra ( 640:250 if taken at Rutgers, or equivalent) . Students lacking these prerequisites may be asked to take additional courses that will not generally count toward the MS degree.
Students finding themselves without such a course might see a sample sample 484 syllabus, with readings. Students wishing to take courses offered by other departments should check out the necessary prerequisites from the corresponding websites.
