The focus of our courses is on the broad understanding of the statistical methods and computational and presentation skills for statistical problem-solving. We also develop students’ ability to systematically think about how to describe the world around us and use data to make decisions and predictions.

We use various active learning methods such as interactive lectures, individual and group activities, project-based learning, problem-solving, audio-visual presentations, and statistical software.
Statistics develops knowledge and skills to analyze data and apply statistical techniques to solve real-world problems. As our global society is becoming increasingly data-rich and data-dependent, there is a high demand for statisticians in various fields such as business, finance, engineering, health care, market research, and the demand will continue to grow significantly.
