Our program gives you a solid foundation in mathematics and computational skills, a sound working knowledge of statistics, and an introduction to some field of application. The requirements for the statistics degree resemble those for an applied mathematics degree with some of the more advanced courses in mathematics replaced by statistics courses. The greatest scholarship opportunities are available through the College of Arts and Sciences. The Statistics Department offers awards and employment opportunities to students with good academic records who show leadership potential. The undergraduate class in statistics is a small group who receives personal attention from faculty and the undergraduate advisor.
Students also enjoy the benefits of interactions and learning experiences with graduate students.
The degree requirement sheet is included here for people who are interested in further details about this dynamic field of study. 10 hours may need to be upper division. Total hours must include at least 50 hours in courses numbered 3000 or above. Hours in one prefix in excess of 48 will be added to the minimum total of 127 required for graduation. Courses in the major prefix may not be used to satisfy the College requirement for six hours upper-division general education.
