Statistics Minor

Students who complete the minor in statistics receive serious exposure to probability theory, statistical estimation theory, statistical analysis, and the design of statistical data collection.

Prerequisites for the Minor

Students choosing to minor in statistics are required to complete prerequisite courses in mathematics. Some may be completed concurrently with the 7 courses for the minor.

The Statistics Minor in Relation to Majors

The minor in Statistics can be completed along with any major. The general Weinberg College policies about major/minor pairings apply. Below is clarifying text about how this works with certain majors, and where particular exceptions to general rules are approved.

The Statistics Minor for Students in the Integrated Science Program

Students complete all requirements for ISP major, and requirements for Statistics minor are modified as follows:

All other statistics minor course requirements remain the same.

The Statistics Minor for Students in the Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences Program

Students complete all requirements for the MMSS adjunct major, and requirements for the Statistics minor are modified as follows:

All other statistics minor course requirements remain the same.
