Overview
Honours Specialization in Statistics at Western University is an undergraduate module offered by the Department of Statistical and Actuarial Sciences in the Faculty of Science. The module comprises 9.0 courses, combining required core courses in data science and statistical sciences with elective options in actuarial science and financial modelling. Entry builds on first-year calculus (Calculus 1000A/B or 1500A/B, plus Calculus 1501A/B or 1301A/B) and a linear algebra or mathematical methods course (Mathematics 1600A/B or 1700A/B), with Statistical Sciences 1023A/B recommended. Teaching is based on Western's main campus in London, Ontario. The elective options in actuarial science and financial modelling let students orient the module toward data analysis, insurance and risk, or quantitative finance, suiting students aiming for careers or graduate study in statistics, data science, actuarial work or financial analytics.
