Drexel’s Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mathematical Statistics is for students interested in the collection and analysis of data using mathematical and computational methods.

Statistics is an ever-evolving arena; it plays a significant role in the growth of modern data science and machine learning. From a streaming service using viewer data to determine which programs to produce to a school district deciding if its math curriculum works, statisticians play a crucial role in identifying problems and finding solutions. Statisticians address complex challenges across many different sectors: agriculture, medicine, engineering, politics, education, pharmaceuticals, public health, the technology sector, manufacturing, media and finance.

Mathematical Statistics majors receive a robust grounding in modern statistical analysis while learning how to apply their knowledge. Drexel offers a wide range of electives that allows students to experience statistics in their chosen field, better positioning them for a career or advanced education. Theoretical courses provided by the Mathematics Department give students a deep understanding of how and why modern statistical analysis works. They gain the knowledge to adapt and extend existing skills to new settings and a solid foundation to develop novel quantitative tools to tackle tomorrow’s problems.
