The department has twenty-six permanent faculty members, with nine statisticians whose research interests include the areas of networks, applied probability, statistical methodology, bioinformatics, ecological statistics, spatial epidemiology, record linkage, statistical education, functional data analysis, sufficient dimension reduction, causal inference, biostatistics, spatio-temporal models, Bayesian methods, environmental statistics, and actuarial science. Statistics programs within the department include both a B.A. and a B.S. in Mathematical Statistics, and an M.S. with a track in Mathematical Statistics. We also offer a Graduate Certificate in Data Science. In addition, the department offers a B.A. and a B.S. in Mathematics, a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, a B.S. in each of Mathematical Business and Mathematical Economics, and an M.S. with a track in Mathematics, along with a vibrant research atmosphere across many areas of mathematics.
