The statistics concentration is intended for undergraduate mathematics students who seek training to prepare for careers involving the analysis and interpretation of data. Students who wish to pursue graduate study in statistics may choose between a theoretical and an applied track. Further, students desiring to continue to obtain a master's degree in  statistics at DePaul University should consider the combined B.S./M.S. degree program in Applied Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics or the combined B.S./M.S. degree program in Applied Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science. Either of these may be completed in about five years.
