One of just a few programs of its kind, our PhD Program in Econometrics and Statistics gives you the scientific tools to create meaning from data in areas such as forecasting, analyzing demand and cost, model building, analyzing big datasets, and testing empirical implications of theories.

The program is designed for students who wish to do research in statistical methods that are motivated by business and economics applications. It also provides valuable insights into other fields, including marketing, finance, and economics.

Econometrics and statistics doctoral students have the freedom to develop a customized research program, combining courses in specific areas of business—such as economics, finance, accounting, marketing, or international business—with advanced courses in statistical methods.
