Course Requirements
Click on your catalog year below for a complete list of course requirements, noting the minimum grade requirements specified at the top of the document:
Keep track of your current progress toward the certificate’s requirements by running an interactive degree audit (IDA). Note the following:
- Certificates require a minimum of 18 hours of approved coursework.
- No transfer credits, "credit by exam," or CR coursework can be used.
- Although some certificate courses may also fulfill major degree requirements, not all 18 hours may overlap with other requirements.
If you notice a mistake on your IDA, such as an approved course not being counted correctly, please email stat.certificates@austin.utexas.edu.
Finishing the Certificate
If this certificate is attached to your major degree program, if your IDA shows 100% upon graduation, your official UT transcript will include the Undergraduate Certificate Program in Applied Statistical Modeling.
If you wish to pursue this certificate as a stand-alone credential, you must:
- discuss your plan with your major advisor,
- email stat.certificates@austin.utexas.edu so we can update your certificate to stand-alone, and
-
respond to our email at the end of the semester you graduate to let us know you’ve completed it and we will manually update your certificate status.
