In the university I went to, Department of Statistics used to be part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. It was impossible to graduate from social sciences without taking a few classes of statistics. Then in some reorganization, Department of Statistics merged with Department of Mathematics. Except that old-school statisticians didn't want to move to the Faculty of Science, and they somehow managed to keep their offices in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
- shrubby 2mo agoI'm a bachelor of social services and healthcare from applied side so if statistics we're mentioned they must've been in the small print.
- shrubby 2mo agoAnd I took some math in university before dropping out of CSC decades ago, so it isn't too hard, but my hunch is that with the BSs students the statistics in decent level would've been too much anyway. Dunno really.
