About the Program
 This program prepares students for careers based on the use of sophisticated computational skills and provides the opportunity for students to work with talented peers and experienced faculty on research projects in applied mathematics and statistics. This includes participating in joint projects with colleagues in engineering and the sciences. This concentration is aimed at students who wish to develop a career in statistics or related disciplines, including data analytics and data science. Teamwork and communication of results are key elements in the program’s design. Statisticians are in demand in many industries-for example, health care, finance, environmental, local, state and federal agencies.

- Completing 12 podcasts created by the Purdue Center for C-SPAN Scholarship and Engagement that use C-SPAN material and completing an assessment for each; or

Note 3: Elective course which fulfills 120 credit total.
Note 4: Science Elective - Statistics majors must consult with an academic advisor to choose 6-8 credit hours in science including but not restricted to astronomy, geoscience, functional biology, cellular biology, chemistry and physics.
No course below MA 16300 counts as graduation credit but does count towards GPA.
Milestone Courses, noted by (m) next to the subject code / course number, have been identified as being critical to your success in this field of study. Failure to master the subject matter in milestone courses may impact your ability to progress in your degree program. In many cases this means achieving higher grades than just the minimum that may be noted in this plan of study. Review your program requirements with your academic advisor to stay on track for graduation.
