Wharton’s Master of Arts in Statistics and Data Science, Bridge to a Doctorate, is a two-year research-focused master’s program designed to prepare students for admission to doctoral studies. Bridge Fellows work with faculty to create an individualized curriculum aligned with their interests and goals. The program provides full financial support (tuition, stipend, and health benefits), faculty mentorship, and resources for applying to PhD programs—including GRE prep and application guidance. Fellows are not required to teach.
As part of the goal of the Statistics and Data Science Department, this bridge program offers a supportive environment focused on developing strong statistical modeling skills for effective decision-making and success in doctoral-level research.
