BU statistics

Does anyone know anything about the reputation of the statistics program at BU? Looks like there are some interesting faculty, but it doesn’t appear on the USNWR rankings, maybe because it’s not a standalone department

I don't know about the new rankings, but it used to be considered a top 15 department. It's fairly new (from the 1990s) so it hasn't established itself the same way as older departments. They focus a lot in statistical genetics and they are a very supportive department!

You sure you’re not thinking of their biostatistics department?

Oops you're right. I was totally thinking about the biostat department.
