Our PhD program in Statistics aims to create a bridge between tradition and modernity in statistics. Students will receive rigorous training in both classical and modern theory and methods in statistics. This program is designed to equip our Ph.D. candidates with the skills and knowledge necessary for academic roles and for research positions in industry and government sectors.

Our master’s degree program prepares you for today’s competitive job market. It features training in theory and methods in statistical inference, as well as statistical computations through our well-designed graduate courses. The program lasts approximately two years and involves rigorous coursework, seminars, and Research Interaction Teams.

Biostatistics/Bioinformatics is an important research field in Statistics with immensely broad applications in public health, medical, and biological research. Bioinformatics is an emerging field with rapid development and has significant overlap with Biostatistics. The new Bioinformatics/Biostatistics (STAT-BB) concentration addresses the increasing research opportunities and the educational needs of this burgeoning field.

The Mathematics Department offers a graduate study program that is rich and varied. Through coursework and the writing of a thesis, students are prepared for careers in teaching and research in the mathematical sciences and their applications.

The Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) graduate program promotes interdisciplinary research training. Students have great flexibility in pursuing diverse research interests for both MS and PhD degrees.
