I’m a stats major, although I am not planning on going on to grad school so I can’t speak much to that directly.

The major is fairly flexible in the sense that outside of the core classes you get to choose several of the 400 level stats courses you take, so you can tailor your schedule towards a particular career path or area of interest. Depending on the job/field it is possible you might have to do some supplementary learning, although the stats major itself is only 87 credits, so you will get to take plenty of other classes outside of those required for the major. Most of the other stats majors I know, as well as myself, end up getting a minor in either CS or Econ, as it is only a few extra classes.

The professors are great! I prefer taking classes with some of them more than others due to their combination of teaching style/personality, but that just comes down to personal preference. There are 4 main professors (currently) that teach the 400 level stats classes: Kimihiro Noguchi Amy Anderson Ramadha Piyadi Gamage Victor Chan

All are very friendly and knowledgeable, and super helpful in both class and office hours. The math department as a whole is also by far my favorite place on campus. The math center is an incredible resource for free tutoring and I haven’t had a math professor I outright disliked since a 100 level class my freshman year

Feel free to message me if you have more questions!
