| Description: | The statistics department offers courses and the degree only to employees of companies who have signed a letter of agreement. Students at these companies earn exactly the same degree as the students on campus and fulfill the same program requirements, including the written master’s exam, creative component, and a final oral exam.
In 1994, the statistics department signed an agreement with General Motors Corporation to deliver a master’s. Since then, 3M, Mayo Clinic, Wells Fargo, John Deere, and Metro Health have signed agreements with Iowa State. |
