- Individual course offerings
- Teaching practices
- Faculty qualifications
- Course sequences in support of various options
- Use of technology in undergraduate statistics courses
- Connections with other departments that use or teach statistics
- Statistics requirements for undergraduate majors
- Statistical preparation of elementary and secondary teachers
- Impact on undergraduate curricula of improvements in pre-college statistical education
Composition: The Committee is composed of 12 members, six to be appointed by the ASA and six to be appointed by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).
