Statistics Ph.D.

The PhD degree in statistics is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in statistics research in academia, government, or industry. The curriculum is designed to provide a strong in-depth and broad training in statistical theory, methodology, computation, and applications. Students begin their research experience in the first year and participate in on- or off-campus internships in the second year. These provide a well-rounded, solid education for graduates to assume and advance their roles as university professors, senior statisticians, or data scientists.
