Statistical Science

The Department of Statistical Science coordinates teaching and research in statistical science at Duke. Duke Statistics teaches a range of statistics courses for undergraduate students across the university, and offers both a Major and Minor in Statistical Science.  As part of the Major, students develop in-depth research in statistical science and its applications, working closely with statistical science faculty in their projects.  At the graduate level, Duke Statistics offers a Masters and PhD degree in statistical science.  Students in these graduate programs learn cutting-edge methods from faculty defining the frontiers of statistical science.  Additional educationally oriented programs include the Statistical Consulting Center, which provides statistical advice to members of the Duke community, and the Statistical Education Center, which is Duke's primary education resource for the nearly 1000 students who take undergraduate statistics courses each year.
