Department of Statistics

Background

 Department of Statistics at College of Natural and Computational Sciences of Mekelle University was established in September 2010, with B.Sc. degree program. Initially, it began its activities with small intake capacity, about 50 students allotted by Ministry of Education (MOE) and currently, there are about 120 students from undergraduate programs attending their schools at the department. In the ensuing years focused mainly on developing its human capacity and has already gained a good ground with this regard. Having attained a level of human resources that could sustain almost all of its functional academic units, the department has now turned its focus towards improving the quality of its education and the diversity of its community services.
