Connection, Access, and Community
Using the tools of statistics and data science—and the strengths of our community —to shape a better world.
We aim to create a transformative impact in the lives of our community members and in the world around us by fostering a collaborative environment where individuals from all backgrounds are respected, supported, and encouraged to thrive. In the Department of Statistics & Data Science, we believe that bringing together people with different experiences and perspectives leads to stronger ideas, more impactful research, and richer educational experiences. We are committed to building an academic home where every student, faculty member, and staff member can grow and contribute fully.
Through our programs, partnerships, and commitment to excellence, we create opportunities for individuals to learn from one another and from our local, national, and global communities. We challenge ourselves to think beyond our own experiences, to stay curious, and to remain grounded in respect for others. Carnegie Mellon Stat & DS is committed to using the tools of our field—and the strengths of our community—to shape a more thoughtful and engaged world.
