Bachelor of Science in Statistics

All undergraduate degrees in the department are based on a four-course sequence in calculus and differential equations and have a computational component. The statistics degrees all require a further statistics core and a minimum of 120 credit hours. Students in statistics begin with a foundation in mathematics. Then they add statistical theory, plus intensive modern data analysis and a concentration in a field of their choice. The goal is to develop an appreciation of each facet of the discipline and a mastery of technical skills. This prepares students to enter a growing profession with opportunities in the academic, governmental, actuarial, and industrial spheres. The bachelor of science in statistics differs from the bachelor of arts by requiring more hours in the major (although the same total hours for the degree), part of which provides a broad background in the sciences.Students will be able to know the fundamental concepts of probability theory, random variables, probability distributions, moments, and the transformation of random variables.Students will be able to correctly identify appropriate probability models for a given random phenomenon and demonstrates the capability of finding distributions of functions of random variables and properties thereof. Students will be able to know the fundamental concepts of the central limit theorem, law of large numbers, theory of estimation, and hypothesis testing. Students will be able to demonstrate the capability of setting up the mathematical proof for finding large sample properties of estimators andor is able to construct appropriate statistical inferential procedures using such estimators.

International applicants to Case Western Reserve follow the same deadlines and process as domestic students. CWRU also requires English translations, if applicable, for academic records and recommendations. After submitting their Common App or Coalition Application, students whose first language is not English must submit an English language exam score to Case Western Reserve via the testing agency, or students can submit self-reported scores by completing the form on their applicant portal. Enrolling students will confirm their testing with official score reports
