The Statistics major builds on a foundation in probability and statistical theory to provide practical training in statistical methods, study design, applied probabilistic modeling, actuarial science, and data analysis. A degree in Statistics is preparation for careers where data analysis and study design are important - careers, for example, in finance and banking, insurance, biostatistics, marketing, drug development, econometrics, and opinion polling. Students contemplating graduate work in fields that rely on statistics, such as epidemiology, public-health, population genetics, economics, government, and psychology, find a major or concentration in Statistics a useful foundation and an important credential. Graduate courses in actuarial science and in statistical and stochastic methods for finance may be taken by permission; students interested in such courses should contact the Departmental Representative for guidance.
