Overview

Statistics at Michigan State University is the driver of data-enabled science for collecting, summarizing, modelling, and interpreting the data. Probability theory is used to analyze various aspects of statistical models guided by practical aspects of computation and scientific interpretability.

Learning outcomes

In the last few decades, tremendous strides have been made in the physical, biological, and social sciences as well as in engineering and business by the use of statistical and probabilistic methods and models to describe and aid in the explanation of basic phenomena.

A strong interest has developed in the intensive study of statistical theory and methods aside from its uses, in the same way that physical sciences have developed aside from engineering.

The Department of Statistics and Probability has a long and proud tradition of excellence for world-class research and training for over 65 years.

The Department awards bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in Statistics, and partners with the Department of Mathematics in awarding the bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science.

The Department is home to an internationally renowned faculty with a wide variety of expertise in fundamental and interdisciplinary research, over 100 graduate students, and about 80 undergraduate students from many countries of the world. Graduates of our programs go on to careers in academia, industry and government.
