Abstract The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) is made up of 14 professional organizations in the mathematical sciences. The American Statistical Association is one of these organizations. Every five years since 1965 CBMS has conducted an extensive survey of undergraduate programs in the mathematical sciences in the United States. These studies give a detailed picture of enrollment, faculty, and instructional methods in two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and universities. This article presents selected results from the fall 1995 CBMS survey (Loftsgaarden, Rung, and Watkins 1997) about statistics courses, faculty, and degrees in departments of statistics, departments of mathematics or mathematical sciences, and in mathematics programs at two-year colleges.
