为什么要学习统计学
统计数据 are everywhere; medicine, manufacturing, law, sports, education, food production, 还有金融，这只是其中的几个例子. It is important to be able to think critically about all of the data and information that surround us. 统计数据影响操作 of industries, markets, nonprofits, and, of course, governmental 组织s.
A background in 统计数据 is perfect for the student who enjoys being a utility player and who does not want to spend an entire career in one field. 几乎每一个领域 involves 统计数据 and requires a statistician on the team. 统计人员有流动性 to move from one field to another throughout their careers. 统计学家逻辑思维 and solve problems based on facts and data and thus bring great value to almost any 组织.
The technologies powering many of the products we buy, shows we watch, and devices we use today were developed and perfected through the efforts of mathematicians and statisticians long before tech companies entered the picture.
统计数据 are so powerful that the federal government now operates 13 统计机构 that manage critical information related to labor trends, health, education and more.
浓度 统计数据 prepares students for entry-level positions in a variety of areas that require logical and analytical skills, especially those with a data science focus.
This concentration also prepares students for entry into master’s and Ph.D. 项目 在数学，工程， 统计数据，以及其他相关学科. 数学系和 统计数据 has a solid track record for preparing students for graduate study in 统计数据, and the career outlook for statisticians is very favorable.
Although there are jobs for statisticians with undergraduate degrees, a number of 雇主要求高学历. 奥斯丁·皮伊的统计中心 provides excellent preparation for work at the Master's level; our graduates have gone to graduate school in 统计数据 or taken actuary exams.
统计数据 is the science of gathering and analyzing data. 雇佣统计学家 almost every industry in many capacities: to determine effectiveness and safety of new medicines for pharmaceutical companies; to control quality in manufacturing processes; to determine policy premiums and estimate probable payoffs for insurance companies; to analyze consumer demand; to plan and develop services for various segments of society 政府机构.

教师 who teach the 统计数据 courses hold a variety of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in both mathematics content and 统计数据. 很多教职员工 who teach these courses have years of experience in government and industry in addition 以多年的教学经验. Several of these faculty hold qualifications and 统计领域的证书，如 保险精算的认证.
The program is accredited and it is taught by high quality, experienced, and accessible 教授. This concentration opens up graduate school opportunities as well as career opportunities with a bachelor’s degree in many fields since 统计数据 is so 在工作场所无处不在.
