The Department of Statistics provides degree programs at bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Students can pursue two undergraduate minors: applied statistics or general statistics, along with a graduate statistics certificate. Undergraduate options include a mathematics-statistics double major, pre-actuarial science specialization, and behavioral statistics degree. The curriculum covers both theoretical and applied statistical methods, incorporating extensive computer use and statistical software in coursework. Applied statistics courses emphasize data analysis skills. Modern statistical education occurs at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Combining a statistics major with minors in fields like mathematics, computer science, agriculture, life sciences, or social sciences creates versatile career preparation for industry, government, and academia. Understanding fundamental statistical methods is growing increasingly valuable across all disciplines.
