Stats 186: Careers in Statistics
The Department of Statistics at UCLA offers both a major and a minor in Statistics. For undergraduate students a broad range of courses covering applications, computation, and theory is offered. In terms of statistical practice, undergraduate students have the opportunity to serve as statistical consultants on real projects from industrial clients. In designing the undergraduate offerings, departmental faculty members have drawn on their work in bioinformatics, sensor networks, environmental studies, finance, and medical research.
The Department of Statistics offers Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Statistics. The graduate program is structured around three core course sequences that introduce students to the science of data: theoretical statistics, data analysis, and statistical computing. This balance reflects the scale and complexity of problems that statisticians are now routinely called to address. As with the undergraduate program, the interest of faculty members in various application areas weaves itself throughout the graduate offerings.
Courses and workshops for secondary school teachers of statistics are also offered in order to promote sound statistics pedagogy throughout the curriculum.
