Statistics B.S. Stat.College of Science and Engineering - Adm
College of Science and Engineering
This program gives students an understanding of the theory of statistics, trains them in basic use of the most important types of statistical methods, and prepares them for graduate work or for jobs in such diverse areas as marketing analysis, quality management, and support for scientific research.
The program provides a broad foundation in statistics that can be combined with coursework in other technical disciplines or as a basis for further specialization in statistics.
