Bachelor of Arts - Statistics (Optional Co-op)

Statistics is the collection and interpretation of data.

At the University of New Brunswick Saint John, students will learn to develop tools to predict behaviour and actions across a variety of sectors including government, business, science and academia.

In a student's first year they will be required to take introductory mathematics courses in calculus as well as two introductory courses in probability and statistics. In a student's upper years they will build upon this foundation with courses in probability analysis, design and sample surveying. Students may declare their major or minor in statistics at the end of their second year.

A degree in statistics prepares students for a career in analyzing a variety of factors for many types of employers including government, business, education and academia.

Graduates go on to become actuaries, forensic auditors, insurance underwriters, market research analysts, medical researchers, public opinion researchers, statisticians and systems operation analysts.
