UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

We offer both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Statistical
Science exposing students to a broad range of statistical methods using tools
from mathematical and computational sciences. Developing skills and expertise in
problem articulation and solving, and abilities to appreciate and accommodate
uncertainty in decision-making, are central goals. Graduating students are
extremely well-prepared and competitive for graduate study in statistics and
allied disciplines, and for early careers in business, finance, law, medicine or
other fields. The department offers Interdepartmental Majors in Data Science
(Statistical Science + Computer Science) or in Statistical Science + another
field of study. A Statistical Science minor is also offered.

CONSIDERING A STATISTICAL SCIENCE MAJOR?


PH.D. PROGRAM

Our Ph.D. in Statistical Science allows students to customize their studies to
define “individualized programs.” We stress the flexibility to tailor course
selection, independent study, research experiences, internships, etc. to help
students define a core base of expertise and move at their own pace toward Ph.D.
research.




MASTER'S PROGRAM

Our Master’s program helps launch students into professional careers, or bridge
them to Ph.D. studies. We offer a Master’s in Statistical Science (MSS), which
provides a comprehensive education in modern statistical theory, methods, and
computation.

RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS

THEORY, METHODS, AND COMPUTATION

Our Department is a leading center of statistical science and the premier center
worldwide for research and education in Bayesian methods. Our faculty, students,
and postdocs develop new theory, methods, and computational techniques for the
analysis of complex data.

INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATIONS

The Department of Statistical Science continuously engages in significant
collaborations with other departments and units at Duke, at other universities,
in government, and in industry. We wholeheartedly embrace interdisciplinary
research and education; they are part of the fabric of our mission.
