Statistical theory is primarily based on the mathematical theory of probability, and covers a wide range of topics, from highly abstract areas to topics directly relevant for applications. Research in statistics covers many issues, some closely tied to theoretical principles of statistical inference, and others more concerned with developing and extending techniques for descriptive and exploratory analysis of data. The theory and practice of designing the efficient collection of datathrough experiments, surveys, and observational studies constitute important areas of statistics. Since computers play a major and often crucial role in statistical research through simulation techniques, and in statistical applications through the analysis of data, statistical computation is another major subfield.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
