Advice from Alums..
Learn as much as you can about statistics – you might not realize it but statistics is one of the coolest real-life applicable skills you will learn coming out of college.
Industry has a great need for statistical analysis, and tons of data is available. So be creative and use what you’ve learned.
Statistics is a flexible field and is useful in so many areas, so pick something that interests you and focus on that; you can always change your mind later.
Statistics is something that is applicable to all fields–I chose to specialize in biostatistics because of its great meaning to me.
Very few people will have the background that you will have after graduating from St. Olaf, so take advantage of it with the idea that you may have to start one or two degrees away from your ideal field.
Statistics will be helpful no matter what your field of interest is.
