Statistics & Probability

The study of statistics and probability provides excellent preparation for those who plan careers as statistical researchers, probabilists, data and quantitative analysts in actuary, business, economics, law, government, social sciences, political science, education, anthropology, astronomy, biology, psychology, pharmacology, or medical sciences. The Department of Mathematics & Statistics offers the following programs:

1. major in mathematics with specialty in statistics and probability
2. joint major in economics and mathematics with some statistics courses
3. minor program in mathematical statistics
4. minor program in statistical methods
5. BA/MA program in statistics

For details, see Mathematics & Statistics.
