UMN Statistics Department?

Hi,

What is the reputation of the Statistics department at UMN-Twin Cities? I see a lot more about UMN Biostats, but see that UMN Stats is also ranked well. Any information would be helpful! 

 

Thank you!

It's #13 on the US News rankings and based on the schools ranked similarly, I think that's pretty appropriate. Not really comparable to the biostatistics program - the statistics program has top people in high dimensional stats, MCMC - much more mathematical.  Have seen UMN Stats alumni land very good positions.  I interviewed there 10 years ago and had a wonderful impression of the program, but the stipend back then was not enough to live on - hopefully they've fixed that.
