The Dr. Bing Zhang Department of Statistics at the University of Kentucky is home to an outstanding research and teaching faculty.   We are fortunate to have some of the best theoretical and computational statisticians in the country as part of our departmental family.   We are proud to be a named department and we are incredibly grateful to Dr. Bing and Rachel Zhang for the extraordinary endowment that will help to support the department ad infinitum. 

As we begin the 2024/25 academic year, we are super excited to welcome our first ever undergraduate class to our brand-new B.S. in Statistics and Data Science!  We cannot wait to get started!

Our department is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences and also offers a Master of Science (MS) a Doctorate (PhD), a fully online Master of Applied Statistics (MAS), a Graduate Certificate and an Undergraduate Minor.  Graduates typically go directly from these programs into high paying jobs in industry, government, and academia.    

Thanks for visiting our website!  We are proud of our department and would enjoy telling you more about it.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
