Emphasis in Biometry(Applied Statistics)

As defined by R.A. Fisher “Biometry, the active pursuit of biological knowledge by quantitative methods” is the application of statistical and quantitative methods to problems in agriculture and life sciences.

This is an interdisciplinary emphasis, combining formal course work with applied problem solving projects and cooperative education. Course work includes statistical inference, experimental design, and applied econometrics with applications to a variety of problems relevant to crop science, animal science, agribusiness, economic development, and environmental and natural resource management.
