PAARALAN ng ESTADISTIKA
he School of Statistics (Stat)a was established as the Statistical Training Center (later as the Statistical Center) by the BOR at its 565th
meeting on 09 October 1953, under a bilateral agreement between the government of the Philippines and the United Nations. Its primary
objective then was to work towards the improvement of statistical services in the government. Ten years later, the Center was formally
turned over to the University of the Philippines and in 1964, the BOR approved the Bachelor of Science (Statistics) program. The B.S. (Statistics)
program started accepting students beginning AY 1967-1968.
It has since grown into a degree-granting institution whose mission is to advance the development and maintenance of a high level of efficiency in
statistical activities in the country and in the Asia-Pacific Region through its academic programs, research, and extension services. In 26 November
1998, as approved during the 1126th meeting of the BOR, the Statistical Center changed its name to School of Statistics in order to reflect its
expanded character as a degree-granting institution. At present, the School of Statistics offers one undergraduate program and three graduate
programs. These are the B.S. (Statistics) program, the Master of Statistics (MOS) program, the M.S. (Statistics) program and the Ph.D. (Statistics)
program. Through these programs, the School of Statistics has produced numerous distinguished statisticians in various professions and is widely
recognized as the primary source of statistical expertise for the Philippine Statistical System and in the Industry. At present, it is the only CHED
Center of Excellence in Statistics in the country.
