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.

Universitywide Graduation Requirements

To complete this program, students must meet all Universitywide graduation requirements .

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

These must include the following courses (44 hours) and at least 9 hours of applied statistics electives listed below.

Applied Statistics Electives (9-12 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
