Statistics is the art and science of making sense of data. The study of statistics provides students with an understanding of probability, mathematical statistics, data analysis, data science, and the analysis of big data. To graduate with a degree in mathematics, computer science, information systems, or statistics, majors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in all courses applied to the major, with at most one grade lower than a C–. This applies to those courses that have been taken at Adelphi in fulfillment of the major degree requirements. For students who want to do a graduate degree in mathematical statistics, they should also register for MTH 201 (Bridge to Higher Mathematics) and MTH 431 (Analysis).

Advanced standing may be granted at the discretion of the department.

General Education Requirements

All students must satisfy the University’s General Education requirements, in addition to the requirements for the major in mathematics, computer science, or computer and management information systems.
