Mathematical Statistics Major
- The Mathematical Statistics major at ONU offers undergraduate students the rare opportunity to obtain a solid statistics education at a smaller university. The great majority of universities that offer a statistics major are large universities, where the institutional emphasis is often on advanced research rather than teaching.
- The statistics courses taken by Mathematical Statistics majors at ONU are typically small in enrollment, the great majority having 15 students or less. Unlike larger universities, where many courses are taught by graduate student teaching assistants, statistics courses at ONU are taught almost entirely by professors of statistics, who have Ph.D. degrees in statistics.
- The priority of all faculty at ONU is to provide its students with the best possible undergraduate education. This is certainly true of our statistics professors, who provide the Mathematical Statistics majors with a high degree of individual access and attention. This includes the conduct of research and consulting at a level of sophistication that is accessible to the students.
