Boston College:
A noted Carnegie R1 institution, Boston College has launched a PhD program in Computer Science. The Computer Science department’s faculty includes leading experts in their fields, with an emphasis on the theory of computation and algorithmic fairness, machine learning, and data science and visualization, including applications to health, the sciences, human language, and society. The PhD program will provide a vehicle to train the next generation of computer scientists at the research frontier in these fields, with contributions to human knowledge and social good both prime considerations. They welcome applications from qualified candidates. Read additional information.
Columbia University:
The Master of Arts in Statistics program at Columbia University is now accepting applications for Fall 2026. They invite you to join the virtual MA in Statistics Information Sessions (12 sessions on various dates starting 11/7) to learn about their program, such as student resources and academic support –– from the Math Refresher, Python and R Bootcamps in the Summer, to professional development and Peer Study Support during the academic year. Each session is led by the Program Director and student support team, so you’ll have a chance to ask any questions you may have. This event will be valuable for students who want to learn more about the program, curriculum, admission requirements, student support, and community, as well as funding opportunities. Register to join the Fall 2026 MA in Statistics Information Session to learn about the five tracks we offer in the program:
- Advanced Machine Learning
- Risk and Financial Modelling
- Theory and Methods
- Advanced Statistical Practice
- General Statistics
