About the Program
Statistics at Purdue University is one of the largest (students and faculty) in the United States. It is consistently rated by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top departments in the country. It offers courses in fundamental statistics and probability, and also courses that focus on statistical computation to train students as future data scientists. Students enjoy a great deal of interaction with faculty as well as small classes. The department offers a master’s program in which a student can earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years.
The statistics major consists of two options:
- Applied statistics
- Mathematical statistics (Mathematical statistics usually leads to a double major in mathematics and statistics.)
