The explosive growth in data available to businesses and researchers has brought a surge in demand for graduates able to interpret vast amounts of information. The Wall Street Journal's "Numbers Guy" has two nice posts about Cool Kids on Campus and Upbeat Stats on Statistics.

The coming year, 2013, is the International Year of Statistics. Statistics affect your life in so many surprising ways. Check out the informative Statistics2013 video to learn more about how statistics is improving our world. The latest International Year of Statistics newsletter is now available.

For over 10 years our Master of Professional Studies (MPS) has offered world-class training in applied statistics, and preparation for the 21st-century workplace. The MPS provides a solid foundation in theoretical statistics, a broad education in many applied statistics topics, certification in SAS, and a year-long real-world data analysis project. Our graduates are employed all over the world, in industries ranging from finance to survey analysis to biomedical research. Currently, Cornell is the only Ivy League University that provides such a program. This program is recognized as a Professional Science Master's program.

The goal of Cornell's Statistical Services is to enhance the quality of research conducted by Cornell Faculty, Staff and Students. Through statistical consulting, we contribute a wide range of expertise in the areas of study design, statistical analysis and computation, and the interpretation of results. There are also resources available to help researchers improve their own statistical analysis skills, including hands-on workshops conducted by CISER and CSCU.
