Degree Overview

The B.A. degree in statistics is recommended for students who intend to pursue a career in a field that requires quantitative training with an emphasis in statistics. Often, these students go on to work in fields that value statistical skills but are not entirely dependent on statistical analysis, modeling and other areas. After doing preliminary coursework in elementary probability and statistics, calculus, linear algebra and statistical computing, you’ll take required upper-division coursework in probability, regression analysis and mathematical statistics. Additionally, you’ll select from upper-division course options to complete the statistics program, choosing the courses that are most interesting to you.
