The
mission of the discipline is to create and apply statistical
methods/techniques for collecting, exploring, analyzing, and communicating
qualitative/quantitative information and to disseminate this knowledge
through teaching, scholarly activity, and outreach. Uncertainty
is a fact of life. Statistics is the science and art of enhancing knowledge
in the face of uncertainty by modeling, predictions, and decisions. Therefore
it is central to solutions of problems in medicine, law, industry,
technology, finance, business, public policy, computing, and science in
general. The need for statistics applies to almost every area of our lives. Objectives—The
statistics program provides an effective operational knowledge of the theory
and methods of statistics and the application of statistical methods in a
liberal arts environment. It seeks to enhance students' critical thinking in
making judgments based on data and provides students with the basic knowledge
and skills to make contributions to modern society. Students learn to
communicate and collaborate effectively with people in other fields and, in
the process, to understand the substance of these fields. The curriculum
prepares students to enter graduate school or pursue careers in statistical
fields at research institutions and industry. |
