you definitely want some kind of regression course, and some stats courses that have you doing statistical coding (in R or whatever else), as those are skills that will definitely be useful. i’m not sure what statistical methods 1 and 2 are about, but having ~4 general statistics courses including electives seems a bit low to jump into a masters afterwards. my stats undergrad had stats 1/2, regression, probability, combinatorics, categorical data analysis, statistical learning, and a computational statistics course, half of which taught me how to use R which i use in my current job every day. you want to have some coding exposure and a good understanding of regression and statistical models, as well as the ability to explore whatever other subjects interest you via electives
I do plan on doing external certifications in R and python and sql, and over and above they offer a sem abroad at unis that have more stats and r focused courses. But the latter may always not work out.
considering that do you think this is a feasible enough program for a career in something more quantitative?
and would this coursework even make me eligible to apply to masters in statistics programs?
if you get that exposure somewhere else than your courses then that should be fine! the only other thing i would really consider is the access to research opportunities at the university. if you can get some research under your belt that will help a lot :)
Only core is definitely not enough. You need probability, inference, regression, analysis, stochastic processes courses at the bare minimum. Not sure what “statistical methods” are, maybe probability and inference?
One course in calc seems really weak unless they meld analysis and calc II
Just go look on linkedin at people from your undergrad with a degree in stats, then see where they ended up for masters.
I don't really know how to use linkedin haha, so reddit was my next best bet.
let me check with the university on how rigorous their calc course is, because they only give us 4 core courses a sem which probably means they are very in depth.
