M.S. in Statistik

The Department of Statistics offers graduate work leading to MS and PhD degrees in Statistics. Students can concentrate on theory or applications, and programs can be tailored to emphasize such areas of interest as ecology, engineering, forestry, genetics/genomics and computational biology, mathematics, or oceanography. All students obtain experience as statistical consultants for problems in a variety of areas, including agriculture, biology, forestry, exercise physiology, and engineering. Students interested in environmental sciences have the opportunity to obtain experience both in and outside the classroom with statistical methods for environmental data.

Transforming the world through science

In the College of Science, we are committed to a shared purpose: To build a better world through scientific discovery. That’s why we go out there. Seeking answers to how life and the universe work. Pursuing curiosity-driven research wherever the questions lead. Inspiring solutions to society’s great challenges—climate change, animal and human health, data science and sustainable materials. Serving Oregon, the nation, and the world.

Here, students experience, experiment, explore and learn. And build a foundation that opens up endless possibilities.

Science is better at Oregon State.
