Curriculum is designed to give students the skills necessary for success in business, industry, government, and teaching.
Mathematics and statistics are rapidly growing disciplines whose concepts and applications play an ever-increasing part in modern life. Statistics has long been an essential tool in the physical sciences and has more recently been applied extensively in such diverse areas as medical and biological research, environmental studies, management science, behavioral and social sciences, and economics. Our basic curriculum is designed to give students the skills necessary for success in business, industry, government, and teaching. In addition, these degrees will provide a sound background for continuation of study toward advanced degrees in statistics, or a quantitative foundation for graduate school in disciplines such as business, economics, biology, or other fields.

Program Learning Outcomes
- Students should develop effective thinking and communication skills.
- Students should learn to link applications and theory.
- Students should learn to use technological tools.
- Students should develop mathematical independence and experience open-ended inquiry.
In addition, students should be able to:
- Describe data sets using appropriate numerical and graphical techniques
- Develop mathematical tools necessary to perform statistical calculations and to understand distributions and statistical theory
- Design experiments and survey sampling methods that allow results to be statistically analyzed to test hypotheses
- Determine which statistical analyses are suitable, perform the analyses using technology, and assess the validity of necessary assumptions and interpret the results
- Construct and apply probability models for both discrete and continuous random variables; and communicate with non-statisticians in written and oral formats to learn what a client is interested in ascertaining and to present the results from a statistical analysis
