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Students finding themselves without such a course might see a sample sample 484 syllabus (This archived document is no longer maintained and may not meet accessibility standards.

Students wishing to take courses offered by other departments should check out the necessary prerequisites from the corresponding websites.
