BS Statistics
The Bachelor of Science in Statistics (BS STAT) is a four-year degree program with a total of 143 academic units in its curriculum which includes courses in statistics, mathematics, and computer science. The rest of the courses include elective and general education courses. The program is designed to make a BS Statistics graduate flexible through exposure to the basic sciences, to build a career in business, industry, academe or government, or to pursue graduate studies in statistics and its allied fields.
Admission Requirements
- New freshman students are admitted to the programs through the UPCAT/ UPCA.
- An undergraduate student of UPLB who wishes to shift to the program must apply in writing to the Secretary of the College of Arts and Sciences, UPLB.
- Non-UPLB students wishing to enter the program by transfer must apply in writing to the University Registrar.
