At GW, students learn the reasoning and methods for analyzing and understanding data. They also explore how those skills can be applied to develop new initiatives. Statistics is one of the natural, mathematical and biomedical sciences programs in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.Even though it is closely related to mathematics and economics, statistics is essential for understanding data and relates to many other fields of study such as business, social sciences and biosciences.

Students learn how to collect, analyze, interpret, explain and present data, as well as to develop the tools to predict and forecast based on that information.

The Statistics program is offered at George Washington University.
