STATISTICS

Social Sciences Building (SSB), Room 154, (907) 786-1744                        

Statistics courses are offered in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

During the past several decades, the social and economic structure of the United States has shifted from an industrialized basis to an information and service base. Rapid development of computer technology has led to an increase in the use of statistics as a tool for analyzing data. Increasing demand exists for individuals with training in statistical analysis. The unprecedented growth of research institutes nationwide confirms the importance of sampling and statistical analysis.

Statistics is now widely used in a broad spectrum of disciplines. There is, and will continue to be, substantial demand among students and various entities within the community for this program.
