The Department of Statistics was established in the year 2001 as one of the subjects at the degree level with the combination of Physics and Mathematics. Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. In applying statistics to a scientific, industrial, or social problem, it is conventional to begin with a statistical population or a statistical model to be studied. The Department imparts rigorous training and exposure to the students in computer education by way of introducing the latest programming language and computer software to enable to the students to perform statistical data analysis.

The goal of our program is to develop knowledge and skills in theoretical, computational and application-oriented statistics.

• Successfully relate theoretical concepts to a real-world problem in a written report.
• Demonstrate the ability to find appropriate research literature appropriate to the investigative task.
• Demonstrate that they can carry out a statistical analysis appropriate to the investigative question(s).
• Provide reproducible statistical analyses using accepted practices of the research community.
• Demonstrate the ability to communicate statistical results verbally and in writing to both technical and non-technical audiences.
