College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Statistics in Business, Industry, Government, and Research
The statistics in business, industry, government, and research track emphasizes statistical applications and data analysis. It is appropriate for students interested in careers as applied statisticians.
In addition to satisfying the common requirements for all statistics majors, students in the Statistics in Business, Industry, Government, and Research track must complete the following course:
- STAT:5810 / BIOS:5310 / IGPI:5310 Research Data Management (3 s.h.)
And three of these:
- STAT:3620 / CEE:3142 / ISE:3600 Quality Control (3 s.h.)
- STAT:4520 / IGPI:4522 / PSQF:4520 Bayesian Statistics (3 s.h.)
- STAT:4540 / IGPI:4540 Statistical Learning (3 s.h.)
- STAT:4580 / CEE:3142 / IGPI:4580 Data Visualization and Data Technologies (3 s.h.)
- STAT:6220 / CEE:3142 / IGPI:5310 Statistical Consulting (3 s.h.)
- STAT:5400 / IGPI:5400 Computing in Statistics
- STAT:6220 Statistical Consulting
- STAT:6530 / IGPI:6530 Environmental and Spatial Statistics (3 s.h.)
- STAT:6550 / BIOS:6310 / IGPI:6310 Introductory Longitudinal Data Analysis (3 s.h.)
- STAT:6560 / Applied Time Series Analysis (3 s.h.)
- BIOS:5130 / IGPI:5130 Applied Categorical Data Analysis (3 s.h.) - prerequisite of STAT:3200
NOTE: BIOS:5120 Design & Analysis of Biomedical Studies does not count as a statistical elective for the major.
Here is a sample schedule for completing the B.S. degree requirements for Statistics (Business, Industry, Government and Research track).
