Stat 210a can be substituted for Stat 110, and Stat 211a can be substituted for Stat 111 (these are the PhD-level analogs, and are taught at a much higher mathematical level than Stat 110 and 111). Aside from these, no substitutions for Stat 110 or 111...

The concentration requirements can be fulfilled via any of four tracks: a General track in core statistical principles and methods, a track in Data Science, a track in Quantitative Finance, and a track in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB)...

Multivariable calculus and linear algebra, to at least the level of Math 19a and 19b, are required. The most common way for concentrators to fulfill the math requirement is to take Math 21a and 21b, but there are a variety of other fairly common choices...

Summer school courses do not count for concentration credit unless specifically approved by one of the Co-Directors of Undergraduate Studies in Statistics.

As of December 2015, there were 201 Statistics concentrators: 67 seniors, 71 juniors, and 63 sophomores. The concentration has grown dramatically in recent years; by way of contrast, as of December 2005 there were only 8 Statistics concentrators.

It varies from year to year, but typically about half of the graduating Statistics concentrators each year write senior theses. Note that writing a senior thesis is required for honors-eligibility and for joint concentrations.

This is a brief overview of thesis writing; for more information, please see our website here. Senior theses in Statistics cover a wide range of topics, across the spectrum from applied to theoretical. Typically, senior theses are expected to have one of...

Recent alumni have been working in a very wide variety of companies, such as data science positions in tech companies and analyst positions in banks, hedge funds, and consulting firms. Additionally, some alumni are pursuing graduate degrees in Statistics...
