"The Statistics Program at the University of Nebraska at
Kearney is an undergraduate program of study which provides the student
with the statistical knowledge necessary to pursue a successful career in
business, education, government, or industry. The Statistics Program has
two major complimentary areas: (1) Applied Statistics; and (2) Actuarial
Science. In the Applied Statistics major, the student studies the various
areas of statistics to secure a sound background enabling him/her to work
in the areas of quality control, education, insurance, etc. or pursue a
graduate degree elsewhere with a solid background in statistical knowledge.
The Actuarial Science area offers the course work to enable the student to
complete several of the Society of Actuarial examinations at the Associate
level."
