Career Opportunities

A knowledge of Statistics and/or Mathematics is essential for proper understanding of many subjects and so is required as part of the preparation for many careers. In fact, at Langara, most students taking statistics or mathematics are doing so because it is required to support some other course or program that they have chosen. But the student who is interested primarily in statistics or mathematics for its own sake also has many career options that do not depend being trained in any other specific discipline.
