Where can I study business and statistics, plus computer science?

I'm trying to find a college offering strong programs in business, statistics, and computer science as I want to mix these fields. Does anyone know of schools known for these departments?

Definitely, there are a number of schools that have strong programs in all three disciplines you mention - business, statistics, and computer science.

First off, Stanford University offers one of the best Computer Science programs in the world, as well as a notable Statistics program, and has a well-respected Business program in its Graduate School of Business. While the business program's undergrad options are slightly limited compared to some schools, as it doesn't offer a traditional "business" undergrad degree, it does offer a program in Management Science & Engineering that combines business and engineering principles.

The University of California, Berkeley also stands out. Berkeley's Haas School of Business, Department of Statistics, and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences are all top-ranked.

Carnegie Mellon University also offers strong programs across Business (through the Tepper School of Business), Statistics (within the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences), and Computer Science. The good thing about CMU is the interdisciplinary nature of study there, which sounds like it fits your goals.

Still, remember, the "best" program isn't solely about rankings. It's important to consider the course content, faculty, learning style, resources, and opportunities for internships and research, as well as a college's location, cost, size, and culture.

So, while these universities are strong in these areas, I recommend looking at an array of schools to find the best fit for you! Good luck with your search.
