The University
Simon Fraser University [http://www.sfu.ca]
occupies a beautiful woodland setting at the 400 m-high summit of Burnaby Mountain,
just 12km east of Vancouver, on Canada's Pacific Coast. The University is named
after the explorer and fur-trader Simon Fraser [http://www.sfu.ca/archives/sf-explorer.html],
who, in 1808, descended the major river which now bears his name. The University's
location commands outstanding views of Vancouver harbour, the Coast mountains,
and the Fraser River delta, while the bold modern architecture [http://www.sfu.ca/archives/architecture.html]
of the buildings has won numerous awards.
The University opened in 1965 with an enrollment of 2,500 students. It has
grown substantially. In fall 2005 there were about 19,800 undergraduates
(full or part time) and 3600 graduate
students enroled.
In the 2005/2006 academic year 4,822 degrees were conferred.
S.F.U. is a young, moderate-sized, lively University with a
committment to advanced
scholarship, research, and teaching.
British Columbia [http://www.gov.bc.ca/tsa/]
is noted for its superb scenery and Vancouver is recognized as one of the
world's most beautiful cities. In the warm summer months the local beaches
are thronged with sunbathers. In winter, skiing is a prime outdoor activity
and there are several ski slopes
[http://www.hellobc.com/en-CA/SightsActivitiesEvents/BritishColumbia.htm]
on the local mountains and a world-class ski resort [http://www.whistler.com]
only 90 minutes from campus. The temperate climate allows sailing, tennis,
golf and salmon or trout fishing to be year-round activities. As Canada's
third largest city, Vancouver is a thriving business and cultural centre
with modern rapid transportation, international shopping and dining, museums,
theatres, professional sports [http://www.orcabay.com],
an opera company, and a symphony orchestra [http://www.vancouversymphony.ca/]. The 21st Winter
Olympiad will be hosted in Vancouver / Whistler in 2010
[http://www.winter2010.com/].
The Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science
The Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science [http://www.stat.sfu.ca]
was created 1 May 2001 though programs in Statistics and Actuarial Science have
existed within the former Department of Mathematics and Statistics for many years.
Currently the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science
has 16 regular faculty in Statistics and 3 in Actuarial Science.
In addition there are: a Professor
Emeritus, 6 Adjunct Professors, a Director of the Statistics Workshop, and
a director
of the Statistical Consulting Service. For 2006/2007 graduate enrolment in
Statistics is around 35. Even before gaining status as a separate department,
the Statistics and Actuarial Science Group earned a national and
international reputation for work in both applied and theoretical statistics.
Undergraduate and graduate students
flourish in the highly interactive and personalized environment which
characterizes
our Department and is typical of the unique character of Simon Fraser University.
We offer a broad program of training in contemporary Statistics, but also specialize
in various areas for which we are internationally recognized. Our web pages are
at: http://www.stat.sfu.ca.
Degree Programs Offered
In disciplines as diverse as physics, psychology, medicine, sociology,
biology and criminology, to name a random few, researchers gather masses
of numerical information. The science of organizing, describing, simplifying
and understanding these myriad numbers is the interdisciplinary study of
statistics. At Simon Fraser University, the Statistics group provides a
meeting place for people interested in the problems of data analysis and
experimental design encountered in almost every area of scholarly inquiry
and scientific research.
Graduate students in the group will be exposed to theory and application
through course work, seminars, research work with faculty, participation
in the group's Statistical Consulting Service, and a community of fellow
graduate students. The programs offered place a strong emphasis on real
problems arising through scientific enquiry. We offer an MSc program and
a PhD program.
NOTE: further information can be found by visiting our home page [http://www.stat.sfu.ca/].
Degree programs in Statistics
M.Sc. Program
The MSc graduate program in Applied Statistics combines theoretical and applied courses in statistical methodology, hands-on statistical
consulting experience, a project in data analysis or in the development of statistical methodology and the opportunity to gain work experience
through Co-operative education.
Students in the program will be required:
- To complete at least 30 credit hours of course work in Statistics and related
fields beyond courses taken for the bachelor's degree. Of these 30 hours,
at least 24 are to be in graduate courses or graduate seminars, and the remaining
six may be chosen from graduate or undergraduate seminars or 400 level undergraduate
courses. Normally these courses will include
- STAT 801-4 (Statistics)
- STAT 811-2 (Statistical Consulting I)
- STAT 812-2 (Statistical Consulting II)
and at least four of
- STAT 802-4 (Multivariate Analysis),
- STAT 804-4 (Time Series Analysis),
- STAT 805-4 (Nonparametric Statistics and Discrete Data Analysis),
- STAT 806-4 (Lifetime Data Analysis),
- STAT 870-4 (Applied Probability Models),
- STAT 890-4 (Statistics: Selected Topics),
- STAT 891-2 (Seminar)
-
To submit and defend successfully a project based on some problem of
statistical analysis. This problem will often arise out of the
Statistical Consulting Service, as outlined in the Graduate General
Regulations (see "1.10.1 Thesis Examination" on page 240 of the calendar).
Students with backgrounds in other disciplines are encouraged to apply. Those
with a weak background in statistics may be required to take certain undergraduate
courses in the Department in addition to the above requirements. Students with
a good undergraduate background in statistics will normally complete the course
work in four semesters. The project, including the defence, is expected to require
two semesters or fewer.
Ph.D. Program
The PhD program provides training in statistical research. Our PhD graduates
work in universities, hospitals, research consulting companies and other research
organizations. The program requires course work and a PhD thesis but offers
the opportunity to participate both in the consulting service and in co-operative
education
A candidate for the PhD will generally obtain at least 30 credits beyond
courses taken for the bachelor's degree. Of these, at least 22 will be
graduate courses or seminars and the remaining 8 may be from graduate courses
or those 400 level undergraduate courses which may be taken for credit
for the BSc in Statistics. Students who hold an MSc in statistics are deemed
to have earned 18 of the 22 graduate hours and 4 of the 8 undergraduate
or graduate hours required.
Candidates will normally pass a general examination covering a broad
range of senior undergraduate material in statistics. The General Examination
will consist of examinations in three areas. The areas selected for a particular
candidate are subject to approval by the Supervisory Committee and the
Graduate Studies Committee.
A candidate ordinarily
will not be allowed to take the General Examination more than twice. Students
will be interviewed and advised regarding appropriate courses and examination
curricula. The general examination must normally be completed within four
full time semesters of initial enrollment in the PhD program.
Candidates are required to submit and successfully defend a thesis which
embodies a significant contribution to statistical knowledge.
Degrees in Actuarial Science
M.Sc. Program
The MSc graduate program in Actuarial Science began in Fall 2006. Students
wishing to pursue graduate studies in Actuarial Science may,
with permission of their supervisory committee and the graduate studies
committee, follow the Applied Statistics program , but with
course requirements and project content adjusted for Actuarial Science
as follows.
- Students normally complete 30 credit hours of course work including
and at least two of
- ACMA 820-4 (Stochastic Analysis of Insurance Portfolios)
- ACMA 821-4 (Advanced Actuarial Models)
- ACMA 822-4 (Risk Measures and Ordering)
and at least two of
- ACMA 850-4 (Actuarial Science, Selected Topics)
- STAT 802-4 (Multivariate Analysis)
- STAT 804-4 (Time Series Analysis)
- STAT 805-4 (Non-Parametric Statistics and Discrete Data Analysis)
- STAT 806-4 (Lifetime Data Analysis)
- STAT 870-4 (Applied Probability Models)
- STAT 890-4 (Statistics: Selected Topics)
-
As well, students must submit and successfully defend a project based
on a problem in actuarial science, as outlined in the Graduate General
Regulations (see "1.10.1 Thesis Examination" on
page 240 of the calendar).
Students interested in exploring opportunities in Actuarial Science are encouraged to contact Dr. Gary Parker
[http://www.stat.sfu.ca/~gparker].
Ph.D. Program
Although we currently do not offer a Ph.D. program in Actuarial Science, it is
possible to do the Statistics program and study an Actuarial problem for the thesis.
Co-operative Education
Simon Fraser University has a thriving co-operative education program available
to both graduate and undergraduates. Qualified students are placed for one or more work terms
of 1 or 2 semesters with companies or government agencies. They gain experience
working in the discipline and often make contacts which lead to permanent jobs
after graduation. In Statistics and Actuarial Science participation in
co-operative education is optional but encouraged for both MSc and PhD students.
Research and Support Facilities
The University Library [http://www.lib.sfu.ca],
three minutes walk from the department, is a large modern facility which houses
almost a million print volumes, and 800,000 microforms. There are more than 3000
volumes and 40 periodicals whose main focus is statistics or actuarial science. Many journals
and other sources are now available on-line in the department.
The collection is constantly supplemented. Students may also draw on the considerable
library resources of the University of British Columbia [http://www.library.ubc.ca]
as well as interlibrary loan.
The department maintains a modern computing network providing access to a wide
range of software running on Linux, UNIX, Windows and Mac platforms. Students have
access to a variety of high performance compute servers including a number of
multiprocessors machines and a Beowulf cluster. Simon Fraser has long been a
leader in computing support for statistical and mathematical research.
Tuition Fees and Financial Support
Tuition Fees
All graduate students pay tuition fees upon registration each semester,
according to the fee schedule set by the University. Currently, the fee
for graduate tuition is initially $1475 per semester. (There is not
currently a differential fee for international students.) After six semesters
in the M.Sc. program, or eight semesters in the Ph.D. program, the fee
per semester is reduced by half. There are minimum fees for the M.Sc. and
Ph.D. which are covered by the accumulated semester fees in almost all
cases.
A more complete description of the fees is available from
[http://students.sfu.ca/fees/gradfees.html].
Financial Support
It is the policy of the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science
that all graduate students should have financial support either from scholarships,
teaching appointments, professors' research grants, or some combination
thereof. Most students who are not scholarship holders are supported by
a combination of teaching assistantships and research grants. Typically,
a student who is not the holder of a major scholarship will hold a teaching
assistantship for two semesters in an academic year, and be supported by
a graduate research fellowship or research assistantship in the third semester.
Teaching Assistantships
Teaching Assistants in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science
may handle tutorials associated with courses in which the lectures are
given by regular faculty members, may be assigned to workshops servicing
one or more first- or second-year courses, or may be given marking assignments.
TAs with tutorial section duties work under the supervision of the faculty
member teaching the associated course. Such TAs are responsible for leading
the tutorial sections, holding office hours during which students may seek
help with the course material, grading homework assignments, and invigilating
and grading examinations.
TAs assigned to workshops work under the supervision of the instructor
in charge of their workshop and have regularly assigned hours at their
workshop, where they help students understand material dealt with in the
courses associated with that workshop. In addition each such TA grades
some of the homework assignments and has invigilating and grading duties
for some of the examinations for courses using that workshop.
TAs with marking duties work under the supervision of the faculty member
teaching the associated course, or under the supervision of a workshop
instructor if the courses involved are handled through a workshop. This
type of assignment involves marking of homework papers and invigilating
and marking examinations only, and does not otherwise require direct contact
with students. A limited number of such assignments are available; TAs
who are given such duties because of poor English language ability are
expected to improve their English quickly and then be moved on to tutorial
or regular workshop duties.
Each TA is assigned a certain number of "base" units. One base unit equals
42 hours of work during a semester. A graduate student with a normal load of
5 base units, working about 16 hours per week, is paid about $5,110.00 per semester
if enrolled in the M.Sc. program, and about $6,060.00 per semester if enrolled
in the Ph.D. program.
Scholarships and Fellowships
There are a number of awards that students can compete for, both prior
to entering the graduate program and during their graduate studies. Citizens
and other Permanent Residents of Canada are eligible to apply for Postgraduate
Scholarships awarded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council
of Canada (NSERC) [http://www.nserc.ca].
Students from outside Canada may be able to apply for awards for graduate
study in Canada depending on their home country. For example, students
from Commonwealth countries can apply for Commonwealth Scholarships. Holders
of NSERC scholarships and other major, externally-funded awards are eligible
for Special Graduate Research Scholarships
(SGESs). We now describe some awards specific to Simon Fraser.
- Bert Henry Memorial Graduate Scholarship
The recipient is a student who has received the Master's Degree and is entering
any Ph.D. program at SFU. The recipient must show high academic performance
and potential for significant contribution to the chosen field of study. One
award valued at approximately
$18,000 per annum is made each year. Tenure is one year and
may commence in any semester. Application deadline is March 15.
- Simons Foundation Doctoral Entrance Fellowship
The recipient is a woman who is planning to enter a Ph.D. program at Simon Fraser
University who shows promise of outstanding achievement at the doctoral level.
The award is for one year and is valued at $17,000. One or more of the Fellowships
are awarded each year. Application deadline is March 15.
- C. D. Nelson Memorial Graduate Scholarship
Recipients are outstanding scholars entering any S.F.U. graduate program. Twelve
or more awards are made each year. The value of the award is currently $18,000.
Tenure of the award is for one year commencing in the Fall semester.
The recipient
must normally be registered full-time throughout the period of the award. Application
deadline is March 15.
- Special Graduate Entrance Scholarship
A Special Graduate Entrance Scholarship (SGES) is a one-year award with a value
between $3,000 and $7,000. This award is not subject to application by the student;
the Department nominates the student for an award of a specific amount and the
Dean of Graduate Studies adjudicates the award on behalf of the Senate Graduate
Awards Adjudication Committee. These awards are considered primarily as a means
of recruiting outstanding applicants to Simon Fraser.
- Graduate Fellowships
Recipients are full-time students in any SFU graduate program. Awards are made
on the basis of academic merit; the normal minimum criterion for eligibility
is a C.G.P.A. of 3.5. These are one-semester awards which are currently valued
at $6,000. Students may apply in an annual competition
for Graduate Fellowships tenable in one, two or three semesters. Application
deadline is April 15.
- President's Ph.D. Research Stipends
These are one-semester stipends available to all full-time students who have
completed all degree requirements with the exception of the thesis. The current
value will be $6,000. Students may receive the stipend once. The deadline for
application is the end of the second month of the semester preceding the semester
of tenure.
There are other awards available to graduate students. However, many of
them have restrictive clauses in their terms of reference which make them
inaccessible to most students seeking graduate degrees in Statistics.
Additional Financial Aid information is available on the Registrar's web server
[http://students.sfu.ca/fa/],
and on the SFU Graduate Awards Database [http://fas.sfu.ca/projects/GradAwards].

General Information
Immigration and Customs
International students considering graduate studies at Simon Fraser University
should obtain current immigration requirements from a Canadian Embassy
or its equivalent [ http:/www.cic.gc.ca].
Students must have a valid Study Permit prior to entering
Canada. Full-time international students holding valid Study Permits do NOT
require a work permit to work on the SFU campus, including teaching
assistantships. Students should obtain current customs regulations for any
goods and possessions they intend to bring to Canada.
Students who are admitted will receive a formal letter of admission
to the degree program from the Registrar's Office. They will also receive
from the chair of the department a letter specifying an annual stipend
from teaching assistantships. Both letters should be presented to immigration
authorities when applying for a Study Permit. The processing of
an application for a Study Permit may take several months. Thus
students should submit their application well in advance of their anticipated
arrival to Simon Fraser.
Housing
There is suitable accommodation in apartments or rooms close to the University.
Vacancies are advertised in local newspapers and are displayed daily at
the University Off-Campus Housing Office [http://students.sfu.ca/residences]
which assists students in locating accommodation. There is limited accommodation
in student residences on campus because of high demand, but some rooms
are set aside for scholarship students.
SFU International
International students that have been admitted to Simon Fraser University are
contacted by mail by SFU International with
information about the University and Vancouver. SFU International provides
airport pick up service and orientation programs for newly-admitted
international students at the beginning of each term. All international students
are encouraged to visit the SFU International website at
[ http://www.sfu.ca/international/]
for more information about programs and services.
Health Services
The University Health Service [http://www.sfu.ca/hccc]
provides on-campus health care for staff and students. It carries a staff
of fully qualified doctors and nurses. At the time of registration all
students are required to have current medical insurance. Those (such as
new arrivals) who are not immediately eligible for insurance under the British Columbia
Medical Services Plan [http://www.hlth.gov.bc.ca]
must purchase adequate private health insurance for the waiting period.
