"The departmental major and minor are designed to prepare
mathematically trained graduates for positions in business, industry, and
government, as well as for further specialized study of mathematics at the
graduate level. In today's complex world, problems cut across traditionally
defined areas of discipline, and a departmental major offers a student the
opportunity to combine mathematics with work in other subjects. The
departmental major in the liberal arts prepares students for additional
graduate study or for positions requiring education in
breadth."

"Opportunities are offered for study and research in various
areas of statistics and probability. Programs of study in statistics and
probability lead to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy
degrees. Programs in applied statistics and a joint program administered by
the Departments of Statistics and Computer Science lead to the Master of
Science degree. The Statistical Consulting Program in the department
provides graduate students with opportunities for practical experience.
Excellent computing facilities are available for all students. Various
graduate programs prepare students for profession employment as
statisticians."
