Programs

Undergraduate Program

Although there is no undergraduate major available in statistics, students may major in mathematics with an emphasis in statistics. See Mathematics elsewhere in this section for more information. Students may also pursue an appropriate course of study under the Bachelor of University Studies degree, described in the Special Academic Programs section of this catalog.

Graduate Program

The professional degree of Master of Statistics (M.Stat.) is offered through an intercollege and interdepartmental program. A particular area of specialization is developed for each student. Biostatistics (Department of Family and Preventive Medicine), economics, educational psychology, management, mathematics, and sociology are among the options for specialization. See entries under participating departments for admission information and program requirements.

For information about requirements for the M.Stat. degree, see Professional Degrees in the Graduate Information section of this catalog.
