Welcome
Statistics Discipline at University of Minnesota-Morris, offers programs
leading to a B.S., Major, and minor in Statistics. Our discipline offers many courses in
Statistical Methods and Probability at the undergraduate level. Most of the courses include the use of
computers and computer software to perform the statistical analysis of data. The software includes MS EXCEL, MINITAB, WebStat, SAS, S-Plus,
and R. We are a growing discipline
in the growing field of Statistics. There are many job opportunities
locally for Statisticians in many diverse areas of application, such as
Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Medical Statistics, the Pharmaceutical, Biotech,
Finance, Banking, Government, Education, Consulting, and many others. We
encourage you to consider the field of Statistics as an undergraduate major (or
as a second major, especially if you are already a Math major).
