Graduate Student Talks at JSM 2010

U.S. News & World Report Rankings

For the very first time, the U. S. News & World Report 2011 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools includes independent (from Mathematics) rankings for graduate programs in Biostatistics and Statistics. U. S. News & World Report ranked a total of 54 graduate programs in Statistics in the United States and our graduate program in Statistics at Ohio State did very nicely in this ranking, as demonstrated by the following facts about our program:

Ranked 20th among all graduate programs in Statistics

Ranked 12th among all public institutions with graduate programs in Statistics

Congratulations to the faculty in our Department of Statistics for their hard work in improving our national presence and the reputation of our graduate program. To be among the top twelve graduate programs at public institutions is quite a distinction given the quality of the very best Statistics graduate programs across the country.
