Major in Statistics

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Statistics at Coastal Carolina University seeks to provide students with a solid foundation in all aspects of statistical analysis; including programming, data analysis, and oral and written communication. A more traditional program in statistics consists of a balance between theory and application. Along with the more traditional attributes, the degree will blend together with statistical methods and programming and communication skills that are necessary for today's job market.

The degree program requires all students to take core courses, coursework that delivers a strong foundation in Mathematics and Statistics, and major coursework that exposes students to advanced statistical methods and programming.
