I am considering majoring in statistics. The school (a mediocre state uni, by the way) calls the major "statistics", but the curriculum is that of an "applied statistics" program, in that it requires you to choose an emphasis that you could apply statistics to. I'm going to choose science emphasis, which has the requirement that I " choose areas of science that uses statistical methods". Is computer science an area of science that uses statistical methods? Also, the other options of emphasis are economics and business. Of the three emphasises (science, business, and economics), which is the most employable at the B.S level?
thanks for taking your time to read this.
The following are the required courses for the three emphasises of the statistics major:
