<p>Really a graduate degree is needed to become a professional statistician (MS or PH.D). Solid liberal arts and sciences training would prepare you for the best graduate programs in statistics. Generally, an undergraduate degree in math, science or engineering would be excellent preparation. You dont need to major is statistics as an undergraduate. A college such as Pomona or other liberal arts college could give you excellent preparation even though it does not have a statistics department</p>
<p>Some of the best graduate programs in statistics in the country are at
Stanford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, University of Washington, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, UC Berkeley, Some of these programs are in biostatistics- some are general . Good luck.</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Cal Poly are the top two for undergrad statistics. I plan in majoring in statistics and applied to both. Cal Poly has approx. 60 undergrads in the program w/ 15 freshmen.</p>
<p>NC State University-- undergraduate and graduate program in statistics, well recognized, w/outstanding faculty.</p>
<p>Wharton--DEFINITELY!</p>
<p>Anybody have anything new to add on the subject? Got a few I am debating between.</p>
<p>UChicago</p>
<p>Chicago is known for (among others) math, and their stats dept. is high on the list as well.</p>
<p>If you want to actually become a statistician, majoring in stats as an undergrad is a pretty bad idea. Your best route is to major in math as an undergrad, then you'll be familiar with all the mathematical tools required for statistical analysis and you can just learn techniques in grad school. If you look at the curriculum vitae of statisticians and stats professors at major universities, the VAST majority of them majored in math. Those who don't have a VERY hard time in grad school with stats. So research top math departments.</p>
<p>But if you want to go into Economics or Econometrics in grad school, an undergrad degree in Statistics might do the trick. Just depends..do you want to go into an applied field of statistics?? Or do you want to be a theoretical Statistician, Biostatistian, or Econometrician.</p>
