Overview

Statistics is a science that deals with collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, and the theory for statistical methods involves mathematics and probability. Statisticians extract information from data. Due to the ubiquity of computers and ability to collect massive amounts of data, statistics is a significant and ever-growing field of study.

Statistics students at University of British Columbia select a nine-credit “thematic concentration” in areas such as computer science, economics, life sciences, commerce, or the social sciences to ensure that they can apply statistical methods in another discipline. The concentrations allow you to customize the major or honours programs to reflect your interests, but to a lesser extent than combined major or honours programs.

The BSc Statistics is available as a major, honours, or through the combined honours program. The honours programs are suggested for students interested in pursuing graduate work in the mathematical sciences or another field.

Your future

The BSc in Statistics emphasizes the role of statistics within the general framework of problem solving.

The program helps you develop critical statistical reasoning, with emphasis on the development of computational, mathematical, and communication skills.
These are highly sought after skills and are transferable to many workplaces.

Statisticians work in almost all areas of science, engineering, business, government, and industry.
