Students pursuing a Master of Statistics degree have multiple specialization options. Alongside the standard program without a concentration, they can focus on Biomedical Statistics, Environmental Statistics, Statistical Genetics, or Financial Statistics. These concentrations primarily differ in their required coursework, particularly elective selections. While students may opt for the Master of Science track, which mandates a thesis, this path is currently less common. The Department fosters an engaging academic atmosphere for instruction, fundamental research, and interdisciplinary collaboration, with structured programs in genetics, environmental studies, industrial statistics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, and biomathematics. It also excels in statistics education, mathematical statistics, and diverse applied research. Renowned for both scholarly achievements and pedagogical expertise, faculty members have earned multiple distinctions, including membership in NC State's Academy of Outstanding Teachers and fellowship status in professional organizations. Their research receives substantial funding from agencies like the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. Faculty actively contribute as journal editors and hold leadership roles within professional associations.
