About Statistics

Statistics is the science of designing studies or experiments, collecting data, and modeling/analyzing data for the purpose of decision making and scientific discovery. The ability to obtain, analyze and synthesize large amounts of data is key to most research in both the natural sciences and the social sciences. The Statistics minor is designed to encourage students of any discipline to gain a deeper understanding of statistics.

The Statistics Minor is also ideally suited to prepare students for actuarial science, graduate school, and careers in industrial statistics, biostatistics and research.
