The Mathematical Statistics Major is intended to give the student rigorous training in the methods, mathematical foundations, and applications of statistics. “Mathematical Statistician” is a defined job title in the federal government that carries a higher average salary than the simple “Statistician” title. The B.S. degree prepares the candidate for a career as a statistician in a broad range of fields such as business, industrial, engineering, governmental, and educational.
When planning any program of study in mathematics, it is strongly recommended that you consult an advisor from the Department.
See the General Education Requirements for Tier I quantitative skills requirements.

Program Requirements
To be awarded the Mathematical Statistics Major degree (B.S.), a student must complete a programic total of at least 53 hours.

Choose three with at least two from the 300 level or above: Recommended Course Sequence
A well-qualified incoming student would follow the following course schedule:
Year 1: MATH 263A, 263B, 263C, 211
Year 2: MATH 263D, 308, 350
Year 3: MATH 450A, 450B, 450C, 452
Year 4: Applied Statistical Electives
Students who enter the program later or who are pursuing dual majors could take MATH 450A, 450B, 450C and 452 in their senior year and still complete the major.
Students planning to enter a graduate program in statistics or other mathematical sciences are encouraged to take as many of the following courses as time permits: |
