History

The foundations of the Department of Statistics are based on the Department of Statistics and Computer Science, which was established in 1994 within the Faculty of Science and Letters of Muğla University. This department started its first education in 1995 and had its first graduates in 1999. The Department of Statistics and Computer Sciences, whose student admissions were stopped in 2001, changed its name in 2003 and resumed education as only the Department of Statistics. The Department of Statistics gave its first graduates in 2007. With the departure of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Statistics continues on its way under the Faculty of Science since 2010. As of the Spring semester of the 2018-19 academic year, our department has started to receive doctoral students.

Profile of the Programme

As of the 2019-2020 academic year, there are 1 Professor, 7 Associate Professors, 4 Doctor Instructors, 4 Research Assistants in our department. For those who are admitted with a master's degree with thesis, excluding the time spent in scientific preparation, the doctorate program is eight semesters, regardless of whether they enroll for each semester, starting from the semester in which the courses related to the program they are enrolled in, and the maximum completion period is twelve semesters; For those admitted with a bachelor's degree, ten semesters and the maximum completion period is fourteen semesters.
