Statistics
Careers in statistics require a strong background in mathematics. Certain specific courses in the mathematics sequence are recommended. For persons interested in statistics, it is wise to consider a secondary subject in which statistical methods are applicable. Some four-year schools require as much as 15 credit hours in an area of this type for graduation. These might include, but are not limited to, biology, psychology, or economics. Students should be aware that some colleges and universities require proficiency in a foreign language.
