Statistics Major
The Department of Statistics offers a major leading to a B.S., B.A., M.S., or Ph.D. degree, as well as minors in Statistics for both undergraduate and graduate students. The program is flexible enough to be individually planned around prior experience and in accord with professional goals. The program emphasis is on applied statistics, consulting, and computational methods.
Statistics Minors
Two different tracks within the Statistics minor are offered. A Department of Statistics (Morrill 221) adviser for minors must approve the program.
