Program Overview
This program provides an opportunity to learn concepts and application of statistical methods, for students with a conceptual statistics foundation such as STAB22. The program is intended for students whose major program of study is in a non-mathematical field, but who wish to learn some statistics to support them in their study. Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. The Applied Statistics program is all about experiential learning and is an excellent choice for students with strong quantitative skills and the desire to solve practical problems.
Complementary Programs: Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science and many subject areas that require some quantitative analysis.
