B.S. in Statistics

This program offers the strongest concentration in mathematics.  Through a judicious choice of electives, students may design a program in preparation for graduate school in mathematics or applied mathematics, or slant the program toward a career in business or industry.

Required MATH courses:

MATH 425, Calculus I (statisfies the Quantatative Reasoning requirement for the Discovery Program)
MATH 426, Calculus II
MATH 527*, Differential Equations with Linear Algebra
MATH 528*, Multidimensional Calculus
MATH 531, Mathematical Proof
 MATH 539, Intro. to Statistical Analysis
MATH 445, Mathematics and Applications with MATLAB; or CS 410, Intro. to Scientific Programming 
MATH 645*, Linear Algebra for Applications
MATH 739, Applied Regression Analysis
MATH 755, Probability and Stochastic Processes with Applications
  MATH 756, Principles of Statistical Inference
  
*Note: MATH 525-526, Linearity may replace MATH 527, MATH 528 and MATH 645.

 

 Other Option courses: 

      THREE MATH courses chosen from:
MATH 736, Statistical Method for Research 
MATH 737, Statistical Method for Quality Improvement
 MATH 740, Design of Experiments I
MATH 741, Survival Analysis
 MATH 743, Time Series Analysis
 MATH 744, Design of Experiments II 

      THREE approved MATH electives at least two of which are at the 700-level, chosen in consultation with your adviser, one of which satisfies the Capstone Experience.

 

   Standards for Graduation.
  To be certified for graduation with a degree from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, a student must complete all courses used to satisfy the requirements for the major program with a grade of C- or better and have an overall grade-point average of at least 2.00 in these courses.
