The number of master’s degrees in business statistics awarded annually
increased from 37 in 2010 to nearly 3,000 in 2021, paralleling the growth
in bachelor’s and master’s degrees in statistics and biostatistics over the
last couple decades. Similarly, the number of universities awarding the
business statistics degree increased from 4 to 55 in the same period,
according to the latest preliminary data release for 2021
degree completions from the National Center for Education Statistics.

The NCES 2021 degree data also shows the growth in undergraduate and
master’s degrees in statistics and biostatistics over the last decades
continues strong. For 2020 to 2021, bachelor’s degrees grew 7 percent to
5,340 (49 of which are for biostatistics) and master’s degrees grew 5
percent to 5,128 (917 for biostatistics), as seen in Figure 1. Doctoral
degrees in statistics and biostatistics declined 6 percent to 689 (222 for
biostatistics), consistent with the National Center for Science and
Engineering Statistics finding that “the total number of doctorate
recipients in the 2020–21 academic year declined by 5.4 percent from
previous years.”
