Statistics Major

Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data. Data is everywhere. When you turn on your mobile phone, take a survey, or purchase groceries you are generating data. As the availability of data grows, so does the need for qualified people to gather, process, and use the data.

• Majors receive an in depth exposure to the theory, application and tools needed to be successful inside and outside of the classroom.

• The interdisciplinary approach taken by the department allows each student to tailor their statistics degree to their own interests.

• A student graduating from Gustavus with a degree in statistics will have the knowledge and technical skills to find employment in a field of their choosing.
