Although it is not yet possible to have an undergraduate major in Statistics, there are many opportunities for undergraduates to learn about statistics as a possible career or as a complement to other majors.
The Department of Mathematics offers a specialization in Statistics as part of their undergraduate major. In addition, a few statistics and mathematics electives as part of virtually any undergraduate major provide the necessary background for entry positions as a statistician or for graduate study in statistics. Contact the department for more information.
