Welcome to the Statistical Consulting Center!

We're here to support Tulane undergraduate students with their statistical research needs. Our team is passionate about helping you succeed in your research journey – and all our services are completely free!

How We Can Help

Need help with your research? We're here to guide you through:

         •    Planning your data collection and organization
         •    Learning the basics of statistical software and understanding the results
         •    Finding the right resources and references for deeper understanding
         •    Exploring different ways to analyze your data
         •    Overcoming research roadblocks

We offer flexible support through email, in-person meetings, or remote consultations – whatever works best for you!

What to Expect

When you work with us, we'll:

         •    Help you develop the skills to conduct your own analysis
         •    Show you how to use common statistical software packages
         •    Provide guidance on best practices for data collection and management
         •    Share helpful resources for continued learning
         •    Suggest different approaches to analyze your data

Important Things to Know

To make the most of our services:

         •    Start early! Statistical analysis often takes longer than expected, and we want to give you the attention you deserve
         •    Show you how to use common statistical software packages
         •    We focus on teaching and guidance rather than doing the analysis for you
         •    While we can suggest various approaches, final decisions about analysis methods should be made by you or your advisor
         •    We don't provide assistance with coursework – for that, please visit your Teaching Assistant, Professor, or the Academic Learning & Tutoring                              Center
