Students majoring in statistics learn how to collect, examine, and interpret data. Students that declare this degree may be motivated to work in the government, banking, or finance, among other professions. Statistics majors can have a diverse range of interests because statistics are useful in so many different applications. While students interested in practical applications might take a Bachelor of Arts pathway, enthusiastic mathematicians who intend to go graduate school might pursue more math-heavy coursework in Bachelor of Science degrees. According to the U.S. News Best Colleges rankings, over 160 colleges offer undergraduate degree programs in statistics, so students interested in the field should have plenty of options.
