<p>I heard it was only at the graduate level...but now I hear it's not?</p>
<p>[Undergraduate</a> Degree Programs, Department of Statistics, U.Va.](<a href=“http://www.stat.virginia.edu/degree_undergraduate.shtm]Undergraduate”>http://www.stat.virginia.edu/degree_undergraduate.shtm)</p>
<p>It sure is a major, with 4 different specialties to choose from.</p>
<p>Just so you understand what you are getting into, statistics at the college level is really calculus and computing heavy. At least that was my experience with MATH/STAT 312(0). We did double integrals all day long (same with MATH 310) and then had sessions in the computer lab where we had to program things (easier than CS101 but still not intuitive to someone with no programming experience imho) and assignments where we had to program things on our own. Maybe it is just anything with “Mathematical Statistics” in the title, but those were my experiences…</p>
<p>Was this at the graduate level?</p>
<p>No, 300(0) level courses are undergrad, albeit a little advanced. You wouldn’t be doing that stuff first year, but expect it during at least third year if not second.</p>

<br>
<p>there were plenty of first years, me included, in 310(0). but unless you have calc 3 under your belt don’t attempt it, despite the prereqs saying you only need calc 2.</p>
<p>My apologies hazel, I did make the assumption of a less advanced math curriculum in HS.</p>
<p>If you are at all interested in statistics, google JPSM. There is a wonderful paid summer internship program in DC that my S is just completing.</p>
<p>I googled in and it’s great!</p>
<p>I’ve been interested in survey research for a while now…and that’s just what I would love. Thank you. :)</p>
