A joint statistics/mathematics major is offered in cooperation between the department of Statistics and the Mathematics department. The joint statistics/mathematics major provides a stronger preparation for graduate study in statistics. Students who are interested most in applying statistics in industry, government, or in applied areas of graduate study should take the statistics major. The department encourages interdisciplinary study, and students should consult with departmental advisers to plan their program. A total of 56 credits is required for this joint major with 28 of the credits in mathematics and 25 of the credits in statistics and 3 credits in computer science.

Mathematics involves the study of numerical calculations, problem solving, logic, quantitative patterns, and more. Students pursuing a math major take a variety of courses in the areas of algebra, geometry, calculus, mathematical reasoning, and differential equations. The mathematics program at Rutgers offers several specializations, including standard, teaching, computer-oriented, statistics-mathematics, and bio-mathematics programs. Statistics focuses on gathering and analyzing information and numerical data. Students studying statistics will complete coursework in areas such as probability, statistical analysis, regression methods, sampling, experimental design, and multivariate analysis. Students can pursue a statistics major or a joint statistics-mathematics major.

You will find there are a variety of choices for math and statistics majors. In both its applied and theoretical forms, mathematics is one of the oldest forms of scientific inquiry. It's crucial importance to logic, planning and the prevention of social chaos essentially guarantees that mathematical study and statistical skills will always be in demand. This classical subject of thought, experimentation, and exploration is continuously updated as technology advances and breaks through new barriers. As such, computer science, economics, and engineering all hinge on the talents of mathematicians. Math and statistics skills are valued in a wide range of occupations, including business, physics, accounting, drafting and design, finance, operations research, engineering and even healthcare. Any research field, in particular, needs the assistance of qualified statisticians. Regardless of your career plans, it is important to develop your marketability through internships, responsible work experience, good grades and participation in college activities.
