The Department of Statistics provides academic pathways culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Statistics, a Master of Science (M.S.) in Applied Statistics, along with certificate programs in Statistics (designed for non-majors) and Big Data Applied Statistics Analysis. Students can also pursue a combined master's degree integrating computer science and statistics. The curriculum allows for personalized study plans tailored to each student's background and career aspirations.
In their initial year, both master's and Ph.D. candidates are advised to consult with faculty members to explore potential research areas. Students should form their advisory committee before completing the first academic year.
Additionally, learners can earn a dual master's degree blending computer science and statistics. The department also offers graduate certificates in Statistics for non-majors and Big Data Applied Statistics Analysis.
