Greetings!
Welcome to the Statistical Science newsletter! There are many exciting things to share about the department and at UI in statistics, including news about our faculty members, staff, students, alumni, and friends. This fall semester marks the first semester of our new B.S. degree in Statistics. The degree has two options: a General Option and an Actuarial Science and Finance Option. The Department of Statistical Science is essentially taking over the Statistics and Actuarial Science and Finance Options from the B.S. degree in Mathematics, which are being discontinued. Although the Actuarial Science and Finance Option is nearly identical to the courses from the math degree, the General Option has been redesigned to be more flexible and allow greater computational options for students interested in Data Science.
