Master of Science in Statistical Sciences

Statistical Sciences involves the study of random phenomena and encompasses a broad range of scientific, industrial, and social processes. As data become ubiquitous and easier to acquire, particularly on a massive scale, models for data are becoming increasingly complex. The past several decades have witnessed a vast impact of statistical methods on virtually every branch of knowledge and empirical investigation. ​The department has substantial computing facilities available and operates a statistical consulting service for the University’s research community. Programs of study may involve association with other departments such as Astronomy & Astrophysics, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Environment, Information, Management, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Public Health, and Sociology. The department maintains an active seminar series and strongly encourages graduate student participation.
