Statistics

Statistics provides the reasoning and methods for producing and understanding data. One advantage of working in statistics is that you can combine your interest with almost any other field in science, technology, or business. Many graduates will choose to pursue graduate programs in statistics, biostatistics, computational biology, finance, or the social sciences.

Sociology

A Bachelor of Science in Sociology provides an excellent base of knowledge for individuals interested in becoming researchers or data scientists. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sociology are required to complete a math-intensive course of study.  Students will obtain substantial experience with statistical computing, including programming and data analysis.

Psychology

Psychology’s attempt to understand the human condition takes many approaches: some psychologists study brain chemistry and its relation to behavior, some study the behavior of individuals in groups, and others participate in providing counseling or psychotherapy to people who are mentally ill or who have difficulty coping with the demands of life.
