Faculty position opening Upcoming seminars Grad. The undergraduate program in Statistics is an ideal choice for the person who is intrigued by mathematics and computing but wants to work directly with people.
Statisticians are concerned with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.
They wind up working with people in virtually every known field of study. Since statistics is used as a decision-making tool in so many areas, it is an ideal combination for a double major or as a preparation for graduate school. 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.
