As data becomes ever-more important in influencing decisions in healthcare, politics, and business, having a formal background in statistics can be quite beneficial. Statistics majors from the University of Rochester have been successfully employed in government positions (Census Bureau, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of Labor), insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies, among other industries. With an undergraduate degree in statistics, many options are available for pursuing graduate studies in statistics, economics, mathematics, political science, psychology, and other fields. Law schools, medical schools, and other professional schools also look favorably on statistics majors.
