Statistics and Data Science

专业详情

A key challenge now facing managers is the interpretation of the vast amount of data generated by computing systems. As these data do not directly answer important business questions, data analysis and statistics must be used to interpret them. Statistics courses develop the skills and insights required to make effective use of quantitative methods. They provide the knowledge needed to select and apply techniques and to communicate statistical results. Interpretation in realistic applications offers guiding examples; theory is used to generate and compare alternative schemes. All courses provide skills that augment substantive managerial abilities, along with exposure to computer software that implements key techniques.

The Concentration consists of four courses beyond the Business Fundamental requirement of two courses. The elective courses listed below are most suitable to undergraduates and most commonly taken by students in fulfillment of the concentration. There are other courses not on this list, mostly PhD level classes, which may count towards the concentration with approval from the Statistics Concentration Advisor.

If you need a permit to register for a course, please do not contact the Statistics Concentration Advisor for permission to get into the course. Only the instructor of the particular course can grant you permission to enroll in the course.
