Leurgans graduated in statistics from Princeton University,[4] and earned her Ph.D. in statistics in 1978 from Stanford University. Her dissertation, Asymptotic Distribution Theory in Generalized Isotonic Regression, was supervised by Thomas W. Sager.[5][6] She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington.[4]

Leurgans is one of the authors of the 2007 revision of the Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale.[7] She was president of the Caucus for Women in Statistics in 1990.[8] She is married to physicist Cosmas Zachos.
