The Department teaches approximately 150 full-time equivalent students from all Schools of Study (Schools of Study at Waikato are the equivalent of Faculties in other universities). Together with the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Statistics forms the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences.
