Section 1 Introduction

This website is designed to communicate the information from the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability Graduate Handbook in a way that will be more informative and easier to navigate. We hope that this is a useful resource when seeking answers to your questions.

There are certain options available to students which we do not describe here because they are less likely to be relevant to our current students. Please feel free to discuss your plans with the Graduate Advisors.
