Access course information in the Columbia University Directory of Classes.  Compare with the lists on the MA Statistics Website to choose approved electives.  

MA Statistics Courses begin with GR52xx.   Do not register for the GU42xx version of the same class. 

The Columbia Course Directory:

  • Reveals when a student is restricted from taking a course. The class must be “open to” GSAS.
  • Shows how many students have already signed up and how many slots are still open (time-delayed from the evening before).
  • Reveals if there are any “Approvals Required.” 
  • Lists prerequisites. 

Read carefully all informative emails from the Department and GSAS. Special announcements of courses opening up or waitlists will be sent via email or Newsletter.
