Statistics

Faculty in statistics have a range of interests from theoretical, to methodological, to applied. We regularly consult and collaborate with our colleagues throughout the university and participate in multidisciplinary research. We offer a Statistics and Data Science Concentration for undergraduate math majors and two graduate degrees: an M.S. in Statistics (available both in person and remote) and a Ph.D. in Statistics. Jointly with CICS, we also offer a Certificate in Statistical and Computational Data Science. The Statistics and Data Science Seminar features both theoretical and applied talks and internal and external speakers.
