Statistics gives us the tools to analyze and make sense of data.  It uses tools from Computer Science and Data Science to discover patterns, relationships, insights and make inferences that allow us to make valid decisions in multiple industries, domains and contexts. 

Both Arcadia University’s B.A. and B.S. programs in Applied Statistics provide a solid foundation in the principles and practices of data science and prepare students for successful careers in the field. With its fewer number of mathematics and other required courses, the B.A. program provides the opportunity for students to add minors or even a second major in another field.  The more extensive B.S. program prepares students to pursue graduate studies in statistics or related fields. Both programs include opportunities to select major electives from a number of disciplines where students can enhance their skills in the application of data science tools and techniques to a specific domain.
