Students are required to complete a three-credit-hour statistics course and a three-credit-hour economics course before beginning the program. A list of UT Austin courses that satisfy the prerequisite are listed in the FAQ.

If you are unsure about the eligibility of a course, please contact our program office. You may be asked to provide a course description.

Prerequisites must be completed before a student may register for MSF courses. Admission into the MSF program does not allow for students to enroll in prerequisite courses at the University of Texas.
