As of Fall 2022, the major and the minor programs have been retired. Students who have started the major or minor prior to Fall 2022, can continue with the old curriculum.
Overview of Statistics
Statistics is motivated by the need to extract information from data, to quantify uncertainty, and to make predictions about random phenomena. To do this effectively, sophisticated mathematical and probabilistic techniques and computational tools are needed. Core areas of expertise include Bayesian inference, biostatistics, computational statistics, high-dimensional data modeling, multivariate analysis, and survival analysis.
Programs
NEW Fall 2024To pursue this program, you MUST consult with the Math/Stats department and a BCom Advisor. Taking certain statistics courses in non-sequence order may overlap with others and you may not receive credits for all courses completed. More details can be found in the Course Overlap section of the eCalendar.
