Welcome to the Department of Statistics at Stanford University.  We are located in Sequoia Hall, at the Southwest corner of the Serra Street and Lomita Mall intersection.

The department's goals are to acquaint students with the role played in science and technology by probabilistic and statistical ideas and methods, to provide instruction in the theory and application of techniques that have been found to be commonly useful, and to train research workers in probability and statistics. There are courses for general students as well as those who plan careers in statistics in business, government, industry, and teaching.
