📚About the Program

Explore data, design algorithms and apply mathematical and statistical tools for research, industry, government and other disciplines. If you are drawn to the analytical power of statistics, the Honours program in applied statistics teaches you to translate real-world problems into statistical questions and to work collaboratively to deliver meaningful results. In the Honours program, you gain a solid theoretical and computational foundation, with courses from mathematics and computer science and senior-level courses that cover the main branches of statistics. You work on individual and group projects and complete a capstone in consultation with researchers from other disciplines or with individuals from industry or government. In your Honours thesis, you work with a faculty supervisor on an original research project and write and defend a thesis. This program requires a minor that allows you to pursue further studies in another discipline. For example, it strengthens your knowledge in mathematics or computer science and enhances your ability in disciplines such as biology or psychology that rely heavily on statistical analysis. The Honours program in applied statistics is available to selected students in the Bachelor of Science. Show less
