The Department of Statistics at Purdue University has a three-fold mission in education, research, and community engagement. We have a historically strong interdisciplinary presence in both theoretical and applied statistics, with many of our faculty leading the way in cutting-edge research. The education and research programs at Purdue Statistics aim at globally important scientific and societal issues such as cancer, health care, environment, financial modeling and forecasting, gene regulatory networks, and artificial intelligence, that in turn provide our graduates with the training and experience to obtain exciting jobs in industry, government, academic, and non-profit institutions.
Our graduate students founded Statistics in the Community (StatCom), a premier volunteer statistical consulting organization that engages the local community, and serves as an excellent example of 'statistics at work'. The future of Statistics is bright, and Purdue University is proud to be leading the way!
