统计科学涉及对随机现象的研究，涉及范围广泛的科学
Statistical Sciences involves the study of random phenomena and encompasses a broad range of scientific, industrial, and social processes. As data become ubiquitous and easier to acquire, particularly on a massive scale, models for data are becoming increasingly complex. The past several decades have witnessed a vast impact of statistical methods on virtually every branch of knowledge and empirical investigation. The department has substantial computing facilities available and operates a statistical consulting service for the University's research community. Programs of study may involve association with other departments such as Astronomy & Astrophysics, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Environment, Information, Management, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Public Health, and Sociology. The department maintains an active seminar series and strongly encourages graduate student participation. PhD applicants will be able to select up to three potential supervisors at the time of their applications. Supervisors are then matched and assigned by the department upon acceptance of offer to the PhD program based on research areas of interest.<br>This full-time program normally takes 12 academic sessions (four years) to complete and requires continuous registration. There is a maximum time limit of six years to complete the program.
