Academic Program
Statistics encompasses course work in designing and analyzing experiments, planning and interpreting surveys, and exploring
relationships among variables observed on social, physical and
biological phenomena. The applied nature of the program allows the
student to develop data analysis tools for such diverse areas as
business and economics, crop and animal production, biological
sciences, human behavior, education, engineering, and natural
resource management. The statistics program thus supports major
programs in other disciplines. At this time, within the Department
of Mathematics, a statistics option is available under applied
mathematics leading to a baccalaureate degree. In addition, the
Department of Statistics offers an academic statistics minor for
undergraduate students.
The Department of Statistics at the University of Idaho offers
graduate training leading to the degree of Master of Science in
Statistics. The objective is to provide sound training in the
fundamental principles and techniques of statistics. Graduates will
be equipped for a variety of statistical careers in industry,
business, agriculture, government and biomedical fields or to engage
in further study in the doctoral level.
The UI statistics group is an intercollegiate, interdisciplinary
team which emphasizes broad applications as well as theoretical
aspects of statistics. In addition to research within the
discipline, faculty collaborate actively with researchers from the
physical, biological, and social sciences, promoting campus-wide
cooperation in investigation of statistical problems. There is also
close academic liaison with the Department of Statistics at the nearby
Washington State University. For more information, contact
