Statistics & Data Science
Where the wildly analytical and the outrageously practical make data dance and numbers speak.

"The faculty are all very accomplished and super engaging, and it's really easy to meet and make friends with students in your classes. I also like that small class sizes make it really easy to build close connections with professors."
