Part-time or full-time, practical work experience in the students field of study. The internship must be located at an off-campus facility. Students are individually supervised by faculty. May not be taken until the student has completed at least one semester of enrollment in the graduate program with a cumulative 3.0 GPA.

Theoretic and applied topics of current interest in discrete and continuous time stochastic processes and in stochastic differential equations. Recommended preparation: a graduate level course in probability theory or stochastic processes.
