Graduate Programs in Statistics
Explore 400+ Statistics graduate programs at 100+ universities across 11 countries.
Overview
Statistics is the science of learning from data under uncertainty. Graduate programs cover probability, statistical inference, regression, experimental design and computational methods, with applications in biostatistics, economics, machine learning and the social sciences.
A master's is often a professional degree focused on applied methods and computing, and some programs specialize in biostatistics. A PhD focuses on developing new statistical methods and prepares you for academic positions and senior research roles.
Graduates become statisticians, biostatisticians, data scientists, quantitative analysts and survey methodologists. Pharmaceutical companies need biostatisticians for clinical trials, and technology, finance, insurance and government hire statisticians for experimentation, forecasting and risk modeling.
Most Statistics programs charge between $15,000 and $64,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $21,000 and $73,000.
