Applied Statistics

Applied Statistics is a program taught at Western Kentucky University, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

Applied Statistics study is covered through mathematics degree concentrations that include statistics and applied statistics courses. Students may take STAT 301, “Introductory Probability and Applied Statistics,” along with related probability and statistics coursework such as MATH 382, “Probability and Statistics I,” and MATH 482, “Probability and Statistics II.” Advanced topics are available through STAT 480, “Advanced Statistical Data Analysis.”

The coursework is organized within a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics, with listed core mathematics courses and an option to select a concentration. Students choose concentration requirements and additional elective hours from the department’s listed options, which include probability, statistical data analysis, and applied modeling topics. The page also describes a Joint Undergraduate Master’s Program (JUMP) that combines a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a Master of Science in Mathematics in an accelerated timeframe.
