Choose the Track in Business, Industry, Government, and Research Statistics

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 Track in Statistics in Business, Industry, Government, and Research must complete the following course:

  • STAT:5810 / BIOS:5310 / IGPI:5310  Research Data Management (3 semester hours)

And three of these:

  • STAT:3620/CEE:3142/ISE:3600 Quality Control (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:4520/IGPI:4522/PSQF:4520 Bayesian Statistics (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:4540/IGPI:4540 Statistical Learning (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:4580/CEE:3142/IGPI:4580 Data Visualization and Data Technologies (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:6220/CEE:3142/IGPI:5310 Statistical Consulting (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:5400/IGPI:5400  Computing in Statistics
  • STAT:6220  Statistical Consulting
  • STAT:6530/IGPI:6530 Environmental and Spatial Statistics (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:6550/BIOS:6310/IGPI:6310 Introductory Longitudinal Data Analysis (3 semester hours)
  • STAT:6560/Applied Time Series Analysis (3 semester hours)
  • BIOS:5130/IGPI:5130 Applied Categorical Data Analysis (3 semester hours)–prerequisite of STAT:3200   

Note: BIOS:5120 Design & Analysis of Biomedical Studies does not count as a statistical elective for the major.
