The Department of Statistics at NCSU is among the nation's oldest and most prestigious, housed in the SAS Hall, a new state-of-the-art building on main campus. The faculties are well-known for excellence in research and teaching and the statistics graduate program is the largest in the country. As one of the three "corners" of the Research Triangle, Raleigh's academic research network begins with North Carolina State University and is enhanced by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University in Durham. All of these North Carolina Universities are within a 30-minute commute of each other and are only 10-15 minutes from Research Triangle Park, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious planned research centers.
