利用当今的技术，可以轻松地收集和存储大量数据。为了使所有这些信息有意义，需要数据处理和分析技能以及一般的数据素养。为了使学生为在数据丰富的领域中的工作做好准备，必须对他们进行适当的统计学培训。数学，统计和计算机科学系提供统计学理学学士学位，并有两个可能的方向或集中点。统计理论和方法专修课程提供统计学方面的经典培训，非常适合计划在统计学或其他以数据为中心的学科就读研究生的学生。应用统计学的重点是跨学科的，使学生可以选择关注的应用领域，例如生物学和经济学，以补充其基本的统计培训。这种集中力非常适合计划在政府或
With today's technology, it is easy to collect and store a tremendous amount of data. To make sense out of all this information requires data processing and analysis skills, along with a general data literacy. For students to be prepared for work in a data-rich field, it is essential that they be properly trained in statistics. The Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics with two possible tracks, or concentrations. The Statistical Theory and Methods concentration provides a classical training in statistics, ideally suited for students planning to attend graduate school in statistics or other data-focused disciplines. The Applied Statistics concentration is more interdisciplinary, allowing students to select an application area of focus, such as biology and economics, to complement their basic statistical training. This concentration is well-suited for students planning for a career in government or industry.
