Programs
Undergraduate Minor in Statistics
The Department of Statistics no longer offers a Bachelor of Arts in Statistics. Instead students interested in Statistics should consider the interdepartmental Bachelor of Sciences in Industrial Mathematics and Statistics. A Minor in Statistics is available to university students. An applied statistics and a mathematical statistics track are available.
Undergraduate Minor in Statistics
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Mathematics and Statistics (IMS)
The curriculum in Industrial Mathematics and Statistics (IMS) will provide students the critical skills and knowledge needed to apply both statistics and mathematics to industrial and scientific problems. IMS is concerned with the mathematical, statistical, and computer modeling of various physical, biological, and social processes. Graduates will be trained to work in business, industry, and the government, or they will be able to pursue a graduate degree in any of the mathematical sciences. Industrial mathematics and statistics is vital to our economic competitiveness and is critical to the development of our increasingly scientific/technological society.Industrial Mathematics and Statistics is built on a foundation of differential/integral calculus, differential equations,applied probability, and statistics.
Industrial Mathematics and Statistics (IMS)
Master of Science in Statistics
The Department of Statistics offers a Master of Science with a major in Statistics. The master of science degree is intended to qualify the student to assume a professional role in an educational, industrial, or governmental research project; to teach in a college; or to undertake advanced training toward a doctorate in statistics or one of the quantitative fields of science.

Graduate-level Minors in Statistics
The Department also offers a minor in statistics as an option for both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy University degree programs.
Combinatorial Computing and Discrete Mathematics (CCDM) PhD
The Department of Statistics participates in the interdepartmental Combinatorial Computing and Discrete Mathematics (CCDM) PhD. Since the Department of Statistics does not have a standalone PhD, students interested in Statistics should enter the Computer Science or Mathematics PhD program. Once admitted into the CCDM program, students can choose Statistics as a major area. See the following Computer Science and Mathematics CCDM Handbooks for more details:
