Program Description

In this program you will take courses in statistics and probability, as well as theoretical and applied courses. Statisticians at the Bachelor of Science level are needed in industry, government, and academics (colleges, technical schools). The Bachelor of Science in Statistics is also a pathway to graduate studies, which can lead to a variety of skilled careers such as a statistician or data scientist. Statistics is an academic subject that collects data for research purposes and provides theories and methods to analyze the data and make scientific judgments about uncertain outcomes that are of interest. It is a branch of applied mathematics. Statistics has two main sub-categories: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Statistical models and methods can be used in almost all industries and academic research disciplines that seek meaningful results from data. Here are a few examples of practical projects:

• Predict full season results of Major League Baseball players based on their historical performance measures (e.g., hitting averages)
• Classify customers based on spending behaviour (e.g., the number of shops to use, the average time to spend in a shop, the average amount to spend, etc.)
• Predict whether someone will have a certain type of cancer based on demographic, diet and clinical measurements
