Welcome to our Graduate Program

The Statistics Department offers programs of advanced coursework and individual research leading to the MS and the PhD degrees. We offer several means for earning a Master of Science (MS) degree in statistics, as well as a rigorous program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. Each program emphasizes BOTH theory AND applications, because a good statistician must have training in both. Our MS program emphasizes data collection & analysis, an understanding of the underlying theory, and how one modifies this theory for real-world applications. The real world is a dirty place, and it will not take you long before you find yourself with a set of data that requires some creative insight – grounded in theory!! – for effective analysis.
