BA/BS in Statistics

The Bachelor of Science in Statistics prepares students for statistical careers or graduate study and includes a laboratory science requirement beyond that of the BA. It suits students whose interests lean toward basic science, with a natural science serving as the area of application. The major consists of at least sixty-two hours of approved courses, of which twenty-seven are in statistics and the rest in related disciplines and a field of application. Required calculus courses are part of the plan. A concentration in actuarial science is available. Students pursuing it take two actuarial courses among their statistical methodology hours and consult an advisor about operations research and numerical analysis. Prospective students can request information from the department and review the full application steps on the official program page before applying.
