Abstract:
|
Does our current undergraduate statistics curriculum properly prepare students for their future? Upon graduation undergraduate students either seek employment or pursue an advanced degree in statistics. Ideally, an undergraduate program would provide the skills necessary to be successful in either path. Is this even possible? If so, what does the optimal curriculum include? This poster will present a review of several existing undergraduate statistics programs, input from academicians who attended USCOTS 2011, and input from likely employers of students with an undergraduate degree in Statistics.
