Canada prides itself in evidence-based research and decision-making, which means statistics graduates are in-demand in both the public and private sectors. Mathematics graduates are in-demand as well, and generally work in the banking, computing, management, and teaching fields.
Students interested in statistics can take graduate-level programs and receive degrees in areas like data mining, bioinformatics, and environmental statistics. Class sizes are usually small, which makes it possible for students and professors to work closely on complex issues.
