  • Statistics provides a strong career path with excellent opportunities, and statisticians are in high demand.

    produces trustworthy data, and helps researchers draw practical conclusions to evaluate trends or projections. Data can be derived from sources such as surveys, polls and experiments. Statisticians apply their knowledge to a wide array of disciplines, such as agriculture, biology, computer science, economics, education, engineering, human resources, marketing, medicine, public health, psychology, sociology, and sports. Careers in StatisticsStatistics requires a rigorous mathematical preparation

  • The College of Natural Sciences houses the Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Geosciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology programs.

    PLU launches new data science major to meet growing demand in data-driven economy. Students learn essential analytical tools and techniques for extracting meaningful and precise insights from data. Lindsey Clark ’24 will return to PLU for her MA in Education and teaching credential. "The goal was to bring mathematics in new, fun, and interesting ways to students’ and their families’ lives,” Clark says. Physics major Julian Kop ’24 studied the universe and his family background at PLU. He

For hours Dan Case ’11 and his team study the YouTube video of White during a 96 hour Mathematical Contest in Modeling. “We’d pause it over and over again to see how to make a model out of it,” Case said. Four teams, totaling 11 PLU students, spent 96 hours competing in the Math Modeling Contest. (Photo by John
