Statistics is the practice of collecting and analyzing numerical data, and inferring properties of the whole from a representative sample. The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Statistics provides students with the solid foundation in both statistical theory and applied statistics necessary to become a Statistician or to proceed to more specialized Statistical study at the graduate level. Students interested in continuing to work in statistics research should consider the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Statistics.
