Students engage in individual or team-oriented statistical projects to solve problems motivated by theory, computation, or application to real problems and data. Typical projects involve statistical modeling, data analysis, and computing to answer substantive questions in engineering or the physical, biological, or social sciences. Participants attend regular seminars addressing project development, research techniques and effective written and verbal communication skills in presenting statistical results. Repeatable for Credit.

This course provides 1-3 credit hours of credit for STAT majors who wish to pursue a research project of mutual interest to the student and a faculty member in a selected area of statistical specialization. The student will conduct independent research under the faculty member’s direction. Repeatable for Credit.

Designed for undergraduate statistics majors. The course is to provide experience in real world applications and practice in statistics. An off-campus internship is required. Repeatable for Credit.
