在这里学什么？

The B.S. in Statistics provides students with an education in the science of data and data analysis, including statistical theory, computational methods, and practical applications. It teaches students to think critically about quantitative methodologies and prepares them for careers that involve analyzing data from real-life problems. It also prepares students appropriately to pursue graduate studies in statistics and other disciplines.

The program introduces statistics as the science of data. Data are numbers with a context; the particular context that gave rise to the numbers is important. In addition to the knowledge of mathematics, you learn about the scientific disciplines that generate data of interest to understand and explain the observational studies or the statistical experiments in question. For example, statisticians calculate probabilities for DNA paternity tests; design clinical trials to study the effectiveness of new medications; study economic time series data, such as gross domestic product from developing countries in Africa; and develop statistical models of responses from MRI psychological experiments.

Statistics has a coherent body of theory, which students of the field master. The statistics major requires ten core courses that focus on basic mathematics, mathematics for statistics, and statistics. You also take a minimum of three elective courses that concern the theory or practice of quantitative methodology, as well as a course in computer programming.

The department offers a variety of courses intended to accommodate a variety of backgrounds and interests. Several courses introduce elementary statistical methods, including courses specifically designed for business students and for students studying the life sciences. More advanced courses provide solid introductions to important methodologies, such as applied linear models and Bayesian theory and data analysis. The curriculum includes both applied courses, dedicated to practical methods for exploring and analyzing data, and theoretical courses, dedicated to the fundamental principles that underlie statistical methodology.

Coursework

Your starting points with the Statistics major are basic mathematics courses:

• MATH-M 211 Calculus I • MATH-M 212 Calculus II • STAT-S 320 Introduction to Statistics

Those three courses provide you with the background knowledge needed for the other seven foundational courses:

• MATH-M 301 Linear Algebra and Applications or MATH-M 303 Linear Algebra for Undergraduates • MATH-M 311 Calculus III • MATH-M 463 Introduction to Probability Theory • STAT-S 420 Introduction to Statistical Theory • STAT-S 431 Applied Linear Models I • STAT-S 432 Applied Linear Models II • STAT-X 498 Statistical Consulting

You should take MATH-M 211 and MATH-M 212 in your first year, and STAT-S 320 in the spring semester of your first or second year.

Tracks and concentrations

While there are not any formal concentrations offered by the Department of Statistics, you can take additional upper level courses to further develop skills needed for specific careers and graduate programs.
