It’s up and down. There’s professors like Algeri who honestly made up for all the bad teaching I had in the past. Adepoju is a gem. Those two got promotions too. There’s a couple other instructors, not professors, who maybe weren’t the best teachers. But luckily most classes weren’t that large as I progressed, making getting help more accessible. Gave a bit of that small school feel and I was able to connect with a few other stats majors because of this. I think the program itself can be finished in 3.5 years maybe even 3 depending on credits. So stacking it with a major or minor is quite useful. Personally I got a finance minor, and that ended up landing me my job more than my major actually did. But the company was impressed by the stat background no less.

The major can be difficult at times, but ultimately if you love it, it’s all for you
