Pricing

The SCS is an earnings unit and can bill clients for our services.  All paid work is performed under contract and is billed at an hourly rate. The rates charged by the SCS vary according to the individual performing the work and the total size of the project.

The following are our rates for OSU faculty and staff:

  • Co-Directors and Statistics Faculty (PhD-level): $250/hour - Non-Gov't entities
  • Co-Directors and Statistics Faculty (PhD-level): $225/hour - Gov't entities

For very large projects, the SCS offers discounted rates. In addition, it is possible to hire a statistics graduate student for an entire semester.

For expert witness work, time spent providing testimony (both in court or in a deposition) is charged at the above rates plus $100/hour.
