Degree Overview

To give the students both breadth and depth and to introduce them to a variety of fields where statistics may be applied, we offer three emphases for the degree: science, business, and economics. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Statistics a student will be able to:

develop basic programming skills and use of various software such as Mathematica, Matlab, SAS, and R; apply these skills to solve problems in statistical inference, data analysis, simulation, and statistical learning.
formulate and analyze mathematical conjectures, construct proofs in sound mathematical English, and use these skills to write proofs of statements in probability theory and mathematical statistics.
develop practical insights in modeling real-world phenomena using a model toolbox of probability models such as Markov chains, and statistical models such as multivariate linear regression model, and use computational methods to obtain solutions in probing such models.
