What will I learn?

The Ph.D. course requirements are sufficiently flexible to allow the student to pursue either a methodological or theory oriented plan of study. The student, in consultation with his/her adviser and Ph.D. advisory committee, can design a course of study to adequately prepare for his/her chosen dissertation topic. Statistics is the science of collection, organization, analysis, and explanation of data. The field offers many opportunities for people who enjoy interpreting the world in quantitative ways using numbers, surveys, and computers. In this field, methods are developed and used to explain quantitative patterns observed in the social, physical, and natural sciences and in business and industry. The methods of probability and statistics have become essential tools in almost every walk of life in industry, business, medicine, computer science, economics, environmental studies, psychology, wildlife biology and fisheries, sociology, meteorology – the list seems never ending. These are exciting times for our discipline since probability and statistics are playing an increasingly crucial role in the advancement of science and technology.
