Online Program established in 2007

We have around 600 graduates successfully complete the online program and receive a Texas A&M diploma.  Our graduates get the same degree and diploma as the local students.  They have even ordered an Aggie ring.  Most of them kept working full-time while acquiring their degree.

Graduate Testimonial

Joe SPortfolio Pricing Manager
“I am a 30-year veteran of the financial services industry having enjoyed stints with hedge funds, major banks, finance companies, and analytical firms. My roles have been focused around analytics for credit, operational, and interest rate risk management of consumer asset portfolios (like residential mortgage loans). At present I am a Portfolio Pricing Manager for U.S. Bank within the unit that quantifies the value of the Bank’s MSR (Mortgage Servicing Rights) asset.

– I am proud and honored to be an MS graduate in Statistics from TAMU Distance Learning. It’s a top-notch program, and here’s why: first, Texas A&M is a nationally-known and reputable institution, and the Statistics curriculum is comprehensive and rigorous. I turned myself inside-out to get through the coursework! Second, the program is well set up for working professionals, both at the program and class-taking level. The administrative staff was super helpful guiding me through my degree plan, and the technology (Howdy, Canvas, etc.) is such that switching from my work day and into class videos, hand-out downloads, Zoom sessions, assignments, etc. was easy. Third, the professors and instructors are beyond terrific. They are professional and dedicated, and I found them to be generous with patience and energy working with distance students. The TAMU Distance MS Statistics program is a quality experience, top to bottom and end to end.

– My personal story is one of retooling in the latter stages of my career. I started the MS program at age 52 when I was one of a gzillion mid/senior level managers in Corporate America. Already with a degree in Computer Science and an MBA, I was seeking to renew/harden my skills and stay relevant in today’s data-driven world. The Texas A&M MS Statistics program helped me accomplish that, and it had a direct impact in the hiring process for the job of Portfolio Pricing Manager which I accepted during my final semester (fall 2021). The hiring manager was impressed by the energy level needed to undertake and complete a graduate degree in Statistics – it helped win me my current job!”
