Statistics is the science of designing studies or experiments, collecting data, and modeling/analyzing data for the purpose of decision making and scientific discovery. The ability to obtain, analyze and synthesize large amounts of data is key to most research in both the natural sciences and the social sciences. The Statistics minor is designed to encourage students studying in another discipline to gain a deeper understanding of statistics. The program will also prepare students for graduate school and careers in industrial statistics, actuarial science, biostatistics, and research.

1. Students are required to take 4 courses
2. At least half of the courses fulfilling a minor must be distinct from the student’s major. That is, two of the four courses  required for a minor cannot be used towards fulfillment of major requirements. A School Core does not need to be completed for a minor. Minors are open to students regardless of school affiliation.
3. Not all courses are offered each semester. Please check the current Schedule of Classes for semester course offerings.

STATISTIC MINOR

*Course contains prerequisites that are not included in the minor program or general education.  The inclusion is to encourage students from these disciplines to consider this minor program, but also illustrate its usefulness of data science in their own field of study.
