Undergraduate Programs
The undergraduate program in Statistics provides students with fundamental knowledge and skills related to probability, mathematical statistics, data analysis, and statistical computing. With the recent rise of big data, data science, and analytics, the demand for this set of skills has increased substantially.
The field of Data Science has recently emerged as a new academic discipline studying data itself. By creating a Data Science program with the option to choose from three different colleges (CASNR, CAS, ENGR), students have the flexibility to study within and expand their interests and tailor their education to their chosen career paths.
CASNR
B.S. Statistics & Data Analytics
Housed in the College of Agrictulre & Natural Resources, Statistics students learn how to use data to solve problems in a complex world. The degree program offers students the opportunity to formulate an answerable question, develop methodology for data analysis, collect data appropriately, and present the extracted data. Graduates will be able to adapt to an ever-evolving data landscape and use their knowledge to construct novel solutions to challenges that are meaningful for society.

B.S. Data Science
Students can select a major in data science through one of three colleges: Arts and Sciences (Department of Mathematics), Engineering (School of Computing), or Agricultural Science and Natural Resources (Department of Statistics). The data science program offers flexibility for students to earn a dual degree in data science and their chosen discipline’s degree program. In addition, students may choose to add a minor that both complements and enhances the data science major.
