Coursework includes survey sampling and a range of upper-year electives such as time series analysis, Bayesian inference and multivariate statistical methods. The Honours version of this program is accredited by the Statistical Society of Canada, allowing graduates to work toward the A.Stat. professional designation, and a co-operative education option combining academic study with paid work terms is available to students who complete the program as part of an honours degree. Students complete 60 units of coursework in the discipline in addition to general Bachelor's degree requirements. The program is offered in both English and French.
