G-STA-PHD - Statistical Science - PhD

The Department of Statistical Science at Duke University offers graduate study leading to PhD and MS degrees in statistical science. The PhD program offers thorough preparation in the theory and methods of statistics, with major emphases on modern, model-based statistical science, Bayesian and classical approaches to inference, computational statistics, and machine learning. A hallmark of the program is the integration of interdisciplinary applications into teaching and research, reflecting the department’s broad and deep engagements in leadership and innovation in statistical science and its intersections with many other areas, including the biomedical sciences, computational sciences, data and information sciences, economic and policy sciences, environmental sciences, engineering, machine learning, physical sciences, and social sciences. The rich opportunities for students in interdisciplinary statistical research at Duke are complemented by opportunities for engagement in research in summer projects with nonprofit agencies, industry, and academia.
