Statistics is the discipline focused on quantifying uncertainty and deriving insights from numerical information. At USU, statistics students gain comprehensive training in key areas including probability theory, linear regression, time series analysis, experimental design, quality assurance, and multiple statistical analysis methods.
Statisticians can pursue careers across virtually any industry that involves data collection or interpretation. This versatility, combined with a shortage of qualified graduates to fill current job openings, ensures exceptional employment rates for USU statistics alumni. The Mathematics and Statistics Department fosters a tight-knit community where undergraduates benefit from personalized faculty guidance and research opportunities.
The degree is awarded upon successful completion of all major requirements. For a BA degree, students must additionally demonstrate competency in one or more foreign languages.
