Hi all, I'm a graduating senior who will be starting a job next year doing something related to statistics/business. My employer offers tuition reimbursement, so I was planning on working towards a masters degree part time over a few years at a nearby university, not too well ranked in either math or stats. I'm coming from an undergrad math background also. I'm wondering, would it matter whether or not I got my MS in math or stats if I was applying to top PhD programs in a few years? The math dept. at this school has a better course selection and faculty from what I can gather. The math degree would also help towards preparing for the math GRE. Thanks

But my question was if I need to take the course this semester, or if I could possibly wait till next Spring?

Hi all, I'm a junior math major who will be applying for some Statistics PhD programs that require a Real Analysis class covering measure theory. My question is if I can take this class in Spring 2014 (not offered in Fall) and still be fully considered for these programs? It's offered this semester, but I feel like I have a full enough schedule already. But if I absolutely had to, I could find a way to take the course this semester. Thanks
