Bridge to a Doctorate Program The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania
Applications for the Master of Arts in Statistics and Data Science, Bridge to a Doctorate Program will open on January 21, 2025. This two-year research master’s (AM) degree program provides advanced coursework, research experience, and mentorship to students who need additional preparation for admission to a doctoral program. Please distribute this information to interested students.
Bridge Fellows will receive financial support (full tuition, health benefits, and a stipend) and will work with faculty on individualized curricula built around their interests and goals.
Because of the mentorship and individualized curricula for Bridge Fellows, the cohort is small. Applicants must demonstrate a strong interest in research and a desire to earn a PhD. Therefore, faculty recommendations are a critical part of the evaluation of applicants.
I will host an informational webinar for interested students with Dr. Nancy Zhang, the Bridge Program Co-director on November 8, 2024. Registration for the webinar is required. Students should check the website for registration information for the Zoom here: https://statistics.wharton.upenn.edu/programs/bridge/. Full details on the program and application process are also available on the website.
Your help in identifying applicants and encouraging them to apply is very much appreciated.
