统计学是表征不确定性并从数值数据中提取信息的科学。USU的统计专业学生在概率，线性回归/时间序列，实验设计，质量控制以及统计分析的各个领域均接受过扎实的教育，从本质上讲，统计学家可以在任何职业或收集或分析数据的任何公司工作。因此，而且统计专业的毕业生人数不足，无法满足当前的职业需求，因此USU统计专业的毕业生毕业后的职位非常高。数学与统计系是一个紧密联系的单元，学生可以从教师的指导中获得个人的关注，并有机会进行本科生研究。学生通过完成该专业的所有必修课程可以获得学士学位。要获得学士学位，学生还必须精通一种
Statistics is the science of characterizing uncertainty and extracting information from numerical data.Statistics majors at USU receive a solid education in areas like probability, linear regression/ time series, experiment design, quality control, and various areas in statistical analysis.<br>Essentially, statisticians can work in any career or for any company where data is collected or analyzed. Because of this, and the fact that not enough people graduate in statistics to meet the current career demand, USU statistics majors have an extremely high job placement after graduation. The Mathematics and Statistics Department is a close-knit unit where students receive individual attention from faculty mentors and the opportunity to pursue undergraduate research.<br>Students receive a by completing all required courses in the major. To receive a BA, students must also gain proficiency in one or more foreign languages.
