Faculty

Our program's faculty voluntarily associate themselves with Statistics and Analytics (STAN) to better coordinate research and educational efforts at the university. The STAN faculty are graduate faculty in the Graduate School and have home appointments in their respective departments.  We currently have over 60 faculty from 19 departments in 5 campus colleges.

Faculty with graduate faculty status with The Graduate School are invited to join the STAN faculty. New faculty members can be nominated as STAN faculty upon their request if they (1) agree to academically support STAN graduate students in their role as a research professor, (2) support STAN graduate students as a member of advisory or research committees, and (3) agree to actively participate in normal academic responsibilities associated with the management of the STAN degree program at the University of Arkansas. Initial and ongoing STAN faculty membership is subject to the approval of the STAN Steering Committee.
