Typical pay: Early-career wages vary by industry and region (BLS, 2024 statisticians median $103,300)

A Statistics major covers probability theory, statistical inference, regression and experimental design, sampling, and the calculus and linear algebra that underpin them. Most bachelor's programs pair this core with applied coursework in statistical computing (R, Python, SAS) and a data-analysis or consulting capstone, and many allow tracks in biostatistics, data science, or applied statistics.

Graduates apply these methods to design studies, build and validate models, and interpret results across fields such as healthcare, government, insurance, technology, and market research. Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of statisticians is projected to grow 8.5% from 2024 to 2034, and the 2024 median wage for statisticians was $103,300. Many statistician roles list a master's degree as the typical entry-level education, so undergraduates often plan for graduate study or use the degree as a foundation for analyst and data roles.
