The aim of the undergraduate statistics program is to equip students with knowledge in technical fields such as statistics theory and methods based on mathematical foundations, as well as in fields like Operations Research, Risk Analysis, Quality Management, Computer Science, and Statistical Information Systems. The program aims to develop individuals who can provide scientific solutions to problems arising in relevant fields. Additionally, with the development of technology, the program aims to close the gap in trained personnel and to produce researchers and educators in advanced statistics fields. The Statistics Department aims to train statisticians who are in great demand by both public and private institutions that focus on scientific research in our country.

Education and training are conducted in a formal setting. Learning can take place remotely under special circumstances in accordance with decisions by the Council of Higher Education in Turkey (YÖK). The Statistics Department has 5 classrooms and 2 computer laboratories.

Education and training in the Statistics Department are organized on a semester basis, comprising fall and spring semesters. Each semester lasts a minimum of 14 weeks and includes courses from semesters 1-8. The program consists of theoretical courses, laboratory applications, and external internships. The total course credit of the program is 240 ECTS, determined in accordance with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) and the credit range specified for the diploma level and field by the Council of Higher Education in Turkey (YÖK). The assessment and evaluation methods in the Statistics Department are conducted according to the Selçuk University Associate and Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulations (https://selcuk.edu.tr/Birim/daire-baskanliklari/ogrenci_isleri/1954/yonetmelik/42766) and the Selçuk University Associate and Undergraduate Program Assessment and Evaluation Principles Directive (https://selcuk.edu.tr/Birim/daire-baskanliklari/ogrenci_isleri/1954/yonerge/42767).

The in-term evaluation of a course includes at least one midterm exam each semester or other activities (homework, seminars, laboratory applications, etc.) as approved by the instructor. The final exam is held at the end of the semester in which the course is completed. Only students who have met the attendance requirements and successfully completed the practical components of applicable courses are eligible to take the final exam. Students eligible to take the make-up exam include those who missed the final exam or who received a grade below DC. The make-up exam replaces the final exam and is evaluated in the same way in determining the course success grade. The midterm exam contributes 40%, and the final or make-up exam contributes 60% to the overall course success grade. The Absolute Grading System is used for evaluating exam results. A student is considered to have passed a course if they receive one of the following grades: AA, BA, BB, CB, or CC. A student who receives a DC grade is considered successful only if their Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is at least 2.50; otherwise, the student must retake the course.

A student who receives an FF grade is considered unsuccessful. Students with a cumulative GPA (CGPA) below 1.50 can enroll in courses up to the maximum ECTS credits offered in that semester, including the credits for courses they are retaking. Students with a CGPA above 1.50 can enroll in up to 45 ECTS credits, which is 50% more than the standard 30 ECTS credits for a semester. No credit limitations are applied to final-year students.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs, the Council of Higher Education in Turkey (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education and other activities at higher education institutions.
• The "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" prepared for higher education institutions, based on criteria set by YÖK, are published annually. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.
• The "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report," which includes academic, administrative, and financial data related to foundation universities, is published annually by YÖK. These reports also include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation universities and are shared with the public by YÖK.
The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance in Higher Education Diploma Programs."

1. Creation and Approval of Educational Programs:The minimum standards and criteria necessary for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs at higher education institutions are determined by YÖK.

       1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes of each program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions, in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK on these matters.
        1.2. After being accepted by the relevant Deans' Council, the curriculum of the National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements determined by higher education institutions.
4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation: Higher education institutions conduct annual internal evaluations and submit "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" to the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) Information System. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Reports" with the public, which are prepared based on external evaluations of higher education institutions. Accreditation decisions made by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that the programs meet the quality assurance criteria.
