Undergraduate Degree Program:
Through the five different undergraduate degree
programs offered by the Division of statistics, students are provided
with the flexibility and experience necessary to meet their individual
academic goals.
The Honours in Statistics Program (4 years)
provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of both theoretical
and applied statistics and will enable students to move easily into
challenging employment or graduate work in statistics. The
Combined Honours Program (4 years) allows students to study
Statistics and another scientific discipline at an advanced level. The
Advanced Major in Statistics Program (4 years)
provides a broad coverage of the discipline but is slightly less
demanding than the Honours programs. The Advanced Double Major
Program (4 years) allows specialization in two subjects at a
slightly less intense level than does the Combined Honours Program.
The Major in statistics Program (3 years) provides a student
with a basic background in statistics.
