Thanks to the many of you who made us aware of new undergraduate programs. The running list is up to 16 and available at this blog entry:
Universities and Colleges Creating New Undergraduate Statistics (and Related) Programs (http://community.amstat.org/blogs/steve-pierson/2014/12/08/universities-creating-new-undergraduates-statistics-and-related-programs). We'll keep the list updated as we learn of other new programs.

Subject: ASA Seeking Info on New Undergrad Statistics Programs
Dear All,
We at the ASA have been hearing about colleges and universities establishing new undergrad statistics programs and would like to highlight these developments. If you are aware of other new undergrad programs besides those below, please email them to me (pierson@amstat.org):
In case you missed the September Amstat News piece, the number of universities granting undergrad statistics degrees has increased from the 74 in 2003 to more than 110 last year: http://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2014/09/01/degrees/. That article also links to a table of all the universities that have granted an undergrad statistics degree (according to NCES) since 2003.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Steve
