Statistics Programs at UML Math& Stat
(The primary degree programs offered in the math&stat department - B.S., M.S. - are in bold)
Undergraduate Degree
Masters Degree
Bachelors to Masters (5 Year) Degree
Doctoral Degree
Courses
Undergraduate
Graduate
NOTE: Some graduate courses are required for an undergraduate degree in Probabilty/Statistics Option and for Bachelors to Masters program during undergrdaute years (see Degree Pathways above)
Actuarial Science
Information about Actuary and Actuarial Exams
- What is an Actuary?
- Actuarial Exams
- Actuarial Societies
- Society of Actuaries (SOA)
- Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS)
Acturial Sciences Program at UML
- Currently do not have a formal degree program in Actuarial Sciences at UML. However, there are many ways to prepare for the exam and career
- For Exam P, the course MATH.4070 will use the textbooks recommended by SOA/CAS and should prepare students for the exam
- Exam FM covers financial math, so the students may consider Finance Minor from UML Manning School of Business, or take approproate courses (self-study also possible)
Biostatistics and Epidemiology
For students interested in Biostatistics advanced degrees and career
- Public Health Minor at UML Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences
NOTE: Of 22 credits required, math B.S. majors will automatically satisfy 7 of 22 credits (with BIOL Principles of Biology I+Lab and any MATH course in statistics), so only need 15 additional credits (5 courses) in Public Health for the Minor
- Biology Minor
NOTE: Many of the courses listed will satisfy both the math B.S. degree requirement and the college requirement
- Bioinformatics
(Sample Degree Pathway)
This degree pathway wlll grant a student math B.S. degree with statistics option and biology minor.
- For graduate students, please discuss with your advisor regarding this career path
Computer Science and Statistics
This is a highly desirable combination for intellectual and career advancement
