In the stats web site I see “We are currently working on reshaping our departments. One of these changes has been to establish two distinct departments from the former Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department. Please pardon our dust as web pages are brought up to date.”
Has this been in an in-between state for some time? When will it be a separate department?

This is very new. I just noticed it (I didn’t at the beginning of winter quarter) and from what I just saw on the web-site this evening I expect it to be in place next year. But i only know what I see on the web site.
I don’t know if they will start awarding Stat majors. Until now they only offered a AM&S minor and grad programs.
