Master of Science in Statistics and Biostatistics as a Second Degree for Current Rutgers Graduate Degree Candidates

The Graduate School-New Brunswick regulations described in the Graduate School-New Brunswick catalog allow students who are current graduate degree candidates at Rutgers to earn an additional Master of Science Degree in another field. Such candidates remain coded in their existing home graduate programs. Current Rutgers graduate students who wish to earn a Master of Science in Statistics should consult with both their own graduate directors and with the Statistics and Biostatistics graduate director. Furthermore, graduate students whose tuition is being paid as part of a research assistantship should make their intention to pursue an MS degree in statistics clear to the employer paying the tuition.
Students should furthermore keep in mind that no more than 12 credits of coursework may be counted towards two Rutgers graduate degrees.
