• The Mathematics and Statistics majors learn with faculty how to think and understand and how to solve problems. Every major gives a full colloquium talk and participates in a senior seminar. Many majors take tutorials and do original research. We all have a lot of fun together. Majors typically go on in mathematics, statistics, economics, other sciences, engineering, law, medicine, business, finance, consulting, teaching, and other careers.
  • The major in Statistics is designed to help students meet the following learning objectives:
    • Understand the central ideas of statistical thinking and data science,
    • Develop problem-solving abilities by working with real data, using them to make informed decisions and conclusions,
    • Increase interdisciplinary skills by applying statistical methods to an application area of interest  and understanding the limits of statistical modeling,
    • Communicate the results of statistical analyses to both technical and non-technical audiences.
