The Department of Statistics offers work leading to degrees in theoretical and applied statistics.

The Department offers both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Statistics and Mathematics-Statistics. The latter is offered jointly with the Mathematics Department.

The Statistics major requires 24 credits at the 2000-level or above in statistics, including STAT 3115Q, 3375Q, 3445, and 3675Q. A maximum of three credits from each of STAT 4190, 4299 and 4389 may count toward the 24-credit requirement. Since STAT 3375Q has MATH 2110Q or 2130Q as a prerequisite, students should begin the calculus sequence as soon as possible. In addition, at least 12 credits at the 2000-level or above in approved related areas are required. MATH 2210Q or 3210 is strongly recommended and can count towards the related credits.

Students without mathematical background who wish some skill in statistical methodology should take STAT 1100Q followed by 2215Q. Students interested in the statistical analysis of business and economic data should take STAT 1000Q followed by 2215Q. Students with the appropriate calculus prerequisite should take STAT 3025Q rather than STAT 1000Q or 1100Q and 2215Q. STAT 3115Q and 3515Q are appropriate continuations for each of these three introductory sequences. STAT 3025Q is recommended before STAT 3375Q–3445.

To satisfy the information literacy competency and writing in the major requirement, statistics majors must take STAT 3494W. STAT 3494W does not count towards the 24 required major credits in Statistics, nor the 40 required major credits in Mathematics-Statistics.

The Management major is focused on the development of the necessary skills to lead others, work well in teams, think entrepreneurially, and develop a strategic vision. Most of the complex problems we face in the business world today, whether they impact business or society at large, require the coordination of individuals, teams, and organizations to arrive at a solution. In management we strive to have our students ready to solve today’s and tomorrow’s complex business problems.

The Department of Management offers two core courses; managerial and interpersonal behaviors (MGMT 3101) and strategic management (MGMT 4900) along with elective courses in international business, entrepreneurship, management consulting, venture consulting, negotiations, managing a diverse workforce, and managing human capital. Students may follow the entrepreneurship concentration curriculum, or choose to pursue an area of emphasis in managing consulting, human capital management, or international business.

Cognitive Science explores the process and content of thought as observed in individuals, distributed through communities, manifested in the structure and meaning of language, modeled by algorithms, and contemplated by philosophies of mind.

Its models are formulated using concepts drawn from many disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, logic, communication sciences/disorders, computer science, anthropology, and philosophy, and they are tested using evidence from psychological experiments, clinical studies, field studies, computer simulations, and neurophysiological observation.This program is intended to prepare students for graduate training in cognitive science and related disciplines or to work in the information sciences.The distribution requirements ensure that students will acquire a truly interdisciplinary education.The research and formal systems requirements provide basic knowledge concerning the experimental and theoretical foundations of cognitive science.Finally, majors are encouraged to learn about theory building and testing in a variety of natural and physical sciences. One way to achieve this is to fulfill the requirements of the Bachelor of Science degree.

Students majoring in Pathobiology focus on animal health and diseases and their relationship to people and the environment. Students can prepare to enter veterinary medical schools or medical schools. Pathobiology majors also pursue careers in biotechnology, biomedical sciences, para-veterinary medicine, and many diverse laboratory and research positions in health fields, and agriculture and natural resources.

The UConn Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers two major degrees that are  accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Accreditation is a process to assure you that the Civil or Environmental Engineering degree you earn at UConn can be trusted to prepare you for your career objectives, including gaining employment as an engineer after graduating and eventually becoming licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE).

The department also offers two minors, which can be combined with the BS degrees without taking additional credits through proper selection of professional elective courses.Additional information on the degree progress and related careers can be found in our Advising and Careers pages.

Digital Media and Design majors must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.7 for all graded coursework at the University of Connecticut. Digital Media and Design majors must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 based on all courses required within the Digital Media and Design majors.

At the end of each semester, students with a grade point deficiency will be placed on departmental scholastic probation. During the subsequent semester, the student will have the opportunity to improve their standing. In the event that the student’s standing does not rise to the minimum level, they will be subject to dismissal from the Digital Media and Design major.

The undergraduate major in Finance provides students with a background of knowledge and a set of skills to enable them to perform successfully in finance-related fields. These fields reflect both global and domestic dimensions and they include corporate or business finance, financial management in government and not-for-profit organizations, financial planning, investments, banking, insurance, real estate, and public accounting. Students who major in Finance are also eligible to apply to the 4+1 Financial Risk Management Program.

This B.S. program in Physiology and Neurobiology is intended to provide students with a foundational understanding of body and brain functions at the molecular, cellular, and systemic levels by synthesizing current and emerging ideas from research and medical science. Course offerings span comparative and model system physiology, nervous system function and development, endocrinology, cardiorespiratory physiology, and associated diseases. Additionally, we also offer coursework and independent study based undergraduate research opportunities.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) curriculum is designed to give sound knowledge of basic principles in mathematics, physics, and chemistry; to provide education in the theory, principles, and practices of engineering; and to present the opportunity to obtain additional instruction and experience in one of the major engineering disciplines. Students gain hands-on experience in the laboratory courses that accompany classroom work, and develop design skills in course work beginning in the first two years. Design experience continues in junior and senior years in both the thermal-fluids and mechanical systems stems of the program, culminating in the two semester Senior Design Project courses.

What is a Mechanical Engineer?

Mechanical engineers use skills in mathematics and science to develop, design, and manufacture tools, engines, machines, and many other mechanical devices that improve our standard of living. Mechanical engineering is one of the most diverse disciplines within the engineering profession; mechanical engineers collaborate with doctors to design better medical equipment, research and build renewable energy technologies, and create robots that replicate human movement. Mechanical engineers design things we use everyday, and lead innovation in state-of-the-art technologies like nanotechnology , an emerging field in which functional systems are engineered at the molecular level.

The Department offers both Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degrees in Mathematics, Applied Mathematical Sciences, Mathematics-Statistics, and Mathematics-Actuarial Science, and Mathematics-Actuarial Science-Finance, and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics-Physics. The Bachelor of Science program provides in-depth training in Mathematics as preparation for graduate study or for participation in scientific and engineering teams in government, industry, or research laboratories. The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed to provide training in contemporary mathematics without the depth and concentrated specialization required for the Bachelor of Science program.
