Profiles
“The size of Baylor's stats department and the genuine interest that the faculty take in the success of their students were the two main aspects that led me to this program.”
Sarah Stanley
Statistical Science Ph.D., 2017
“My favorite classes were computational statistics and the two in the Bayes sequence. The professors I took those with, Dr. Kahle and Dr. Stamey, are two of the best I've had at any level.”
Chris Casement
Statistical Science Ph.D., 2017
“Everyone made me feel like I could achieve the goal of getting a PhD and that I would have an amazing support system while doing it!”
Monica Bennett
Statistical Science Ph.D., 2011
“I enjoyed so much about the education I received from Baylor; again they can be summarized by the program, the people, and the place.”
