Statistics and Data Science MS Program Proposal Forms

Students pursuing an M.A., M.F.A., M.P.P., or M.S. degree are required to submit an acceptable program proposal to their department during the first quarter of enrollment. Coterminal students must submit the proposal during the first graduate quarter (typically the quarter after admission to the master's program). The program proposal establishes a student's individual program of study to meet University and department degree requirements. Students who fail to submit an acceptable proposal may be dismissed. A revised program proposal must be submitted if degree plans change.

Request for an extension of Master's program

This form is required for students who need to petition to extend their Master's program beyond the expected two years to completion. In it, you will explain why the degree program was not completed within the original candidacy period (5 to 6 quarters typically). Departments are not obliged to grant an extension.

Extensions require review of academic progress and any other factors regarded as relevant by the department, and approval by the department; such approval is at the department’s discretion.

The department may place an enrollment hold on the student’s registration without formal notice.
