 Return to: Programs by Department
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
Degree Requirements
See the “Degree Requirements ” in the University Catalog for complete details on general degree requirements.
General Education Requirements (48 units)
See the “General Education Program ” requirements in the University Catalog for information on General Education requirements. Some major requirements may double count for GE requirements.
Required Area of Concentration:
Upper-division courses in one other field chosen in consultation with and approved by an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics Sample Four-Year Program
The Four year Plan is a sample study plan. The sequence and specific courses given are suggestive; please see an advisor each semester to plan your personal program and track your progress using the Academic Requirements Report (ARR) in MYSSU.
Courses may be interchanged fall and spring semester depending on course offering each semester.
General Education Notes:
- GE Areas A2 and B4 should be completed by the end of the first year. Some students may take year-long courses for GE A2 and/or B4.
- GE Area A1 and A3 should be completed by the end of the second year
- Students should enroll in Upper Division GE courses after completion of Areas A1, A2, A3, and B4 with a C- or better, lower division GE in that area, and 45 units total.
- Not all First-Year Learning Communities (FLC’s) meet the same GE areas.
- GE Area D must be taken in two different subject areas across the nine total required units in lower division (LD) and upper division (UD).
- Students must take American Institution requirements in U.S. History and U.S. Constitution/California State and Local Government. These requirements may be met in GE.
