Feedback and Recommendations - Updating the Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Statistical Science
|
It has been more than a decade since the American Statistical Association (ASA) approved a set of curriculum guidelines (www.amstat.org/education/curriculumguidelines.cfm) for undergraduate statistics programs. Since that time, much has changed. The number of people receiving undergraduate degrees in statistics has increased dramatically. Interest in the AP Statistics program has flourished. The “Age of Big Data” has arrived. New tools have become available for statisticians. ASA now offers accreditation for professional statisticians. It is a good time to rethink the undergraduate curriculum.
ASA President-elect Nathaniel Schenker has appointed a working group consisting of representatives from academia, industry, and government to make recommendations for changes in the guidelines.
The working group welcomes your input.
Feedback also can be sent to the working group chair, Nicholas Horton, at nhorton@amherst.edu.
