Mathematical Statistics Major B.S.

The mathematical statistics major gives students rigorous training in the methods, mathematical foundations, and applications of statistics.

It prepares graduates for careers in high-paying jobs as "mathematical statistician" in settings such as business, industrial, engineering, government and education.

 

Careers with a Mathematical Statistician Degree

“Mathematical statistician” is a defined job title in the federal government that carries a higher average salary than the simple “statistician” title. The B.S. degree prepares the candidate for a career as a mathematical statistician in a broad range of settings such as business, industrial, engineering, government, and education.

Potential employers include, but are not limited to, the following: state and federal government agencies; scientific research and development services; communication firms; public and private K-12 education; institutions of higher education; computer services companies; software publishers; banks and credit unions; non-profit organizations; and chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

STEMstart Kickstarts Freshman Success in Science

A week before the fall semester officially began, a group of eager first-year students moved into their residence halls, ready to embark on a week of hands-on learning and skill-building. These students had signed up for STEMstart, an early-start program designed to prepare them for the rigors of college-level coursework in biology, chemistry and mathematics.

Throughout the week, participants engaged in a variety of academic sessions, field trips and interactive workshops, all tailored to equip them for the challenges of rigorous science and math courses.
