College of Business Curriculum
Statisticians work in two broad areas: the development of statistical tools and the application of statistics to substantive areas. Applications include such diverse areas as quality control in manufacturing; research in engineering, medicine, and agriculture; survey and forecasting work for marketing operations and government agencies; and actuarial work for companies who offer insurance and pension programs.
Because the collection and analysis of data is found in all areas of modern society, statisticians find rewarding careers throughout business, government, and industry. Some specific career options include industrial statistician, statistical consultant, and research methods specialist. Well-paying jobs are available at the B. S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels.
