BSc Statistics (Saint John) at University of New Brunswick

Programme overview

With vast amounts of data being gathered every day and from all aspects of our society, we need statistics to help us make sense out of the information collected. The beauty of statistics is that it can be combined with virtually any other discipline, whether its science, medicine, computer science, sports, finance or engineering. As the awareness of the importance of statistics continues to grow, so does the demand for statisticians and statistical expertise. Offered at the Saint John campus as the Bachelor of Science.
