Statistics live at the core of scientific reasoning, discovery and development, and can be used to shape public policy and business decisions.
The Department of Statistics is one of the oldest and largest in Canada. Most of the upper-level statistical courses are accredited by the Statistical Society of Canada toward the Associate Statistician (AStat) designation. The Department of Statistics has a high academic staff-to-student ratio, giving the students greater personal attention and more opportunities to tailor their educational experiences.
The department is home to an immersive research environment, and in collaboration with the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI) has established a Regional Research Centre for the Prairie Region: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, NWT, and Nunavut (CANSSI Prairies) at UM to further promote statistical sciences research and training, both in Canada and internationally.
To learn more about the department, research and student experience, please watch the full video on the Faculty of Science’s YouTube channel.
