The Department of Experimental Statistics is the principal source of statistical education, research, and service at Louisiana State University and the Louisiana State University AgCenter. The Department is unique in its strong orientation toward the application of statistics, and faculty provide expert statistical support for the University community in a diversity of ways. Faculty teach undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics to the University community, regularly provide statistical consulting support to faculty and student research projects, routinely serve on graduate committees in other departments, and collaborate on interdisciplinary research projects with faculty from a wide variety of departments, schools, and colleges. In addition, the faculty direct graduate students in applied statistics and conduct their own independent research programs including projects funded through external grants and contracts.

Administratively the Department of Experimental Statistics is located within the College of Agriculture and the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. Academically, the Department offers both thesis and non-thesis programs leading to the degree of Master of Applied Statistics (M.Ap.Stat.). These programs prepare students to apply sound statistical methodology to the solution of quantitative problems from many subject areas. To accomplish this objective, an intensive orientation to statistical consulting is provided through practicum courses. A minor area of course work and a special problem project involving a novel or detailed application of statistical techniques are required in the non-thesis option. See our section on Degree Programs for additional details.
