About the Curriculum

The University of Oregon does not have a formal department of statistics. However, a variety of courses are either exclusively or primarily about statistics. Over the past several decades, statistical techniques have become a primary tool of empirical research. As such, a variety of functional areas and disciplines teach applied statistical techniques. This is particularly true at the graduate level, where research plays an important role. Listed below are permanently numbered courses in statistics offered at the university.

Degrees

The Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees with options that allow a specialty in statistics. Interested students should address inquiries about specific requirements to that department.
