MA Statistics Student Community

The MA Statistics program understands that the graduate experience is deeply enriched by the support, connection, and shared experiences of a cohort. We strive to ensure that every student feels a sense of belonging, with access to both academic and professional support. Through community-building events, alumni networking, and shared celebrations, we foster relationships that last well beyond graduation.

💡 What is a “Cohort”? Why It Matters

In the MA Statistics program, a cohort represents a unified group of students journeying through graduate studies together. This structure cultivates deep academic and professional connections, encouraging collaboration, mutual support, and long-term networking. Students build strong bonds that foster academic growth and extend into future careers.

🌟Peer Ambassador Program: Student-Led Outreach & Support

Launching in Fall 2025, the Peer Ambassador Program empowers current MA Statistics students to take active roles in shaping and supporting the Berkeley Statistics community. Ambassadors contribute across three key tracks — Outreach, Community Building, and Social Media & Communications — allowing them to engage in ways that align with their interests and strengths. Whether representing the program at graduate fairs, organizing student events, or creating content to share the MA experience, ambassadors play a vital role in fostering inclusion, belonging, and program visibility.
