About Statistics at K-State
Statistics is the science of making decisions by collecting, analyzing and making inferences from data. This field is the quintessential interdisciplinary science because of its reach in all areas of science, engineering, business and education. By collecting numbers, images and information, statisticians have virtually unlimited opportunities. It's an explosive time for the field, with no shortage of new data types for theoretical and applied study. Possibilities include:
- Monitoring the environment
- Developing new vaccines
- Increasing product reliability
- Growing more efficient crops
- Setting actuarial rates
Our statistics program prioritizes collaboration with scientists, faculty, staff, students and alumni from a variety of fields.
