Statistics Minor
The statistics minor is intended to give students
majoring in another discipline an introduction to
statistical ideas and methods. Because first courses in
probablity and statistics are taught in several
departments, the minor allows some courses taken outside
the Statistics Department.
Requirements
Five courses are required. At least three of these courses must be listed in the Statistics Department.- An introductory statistics course: STAT 350, 503, or 511, or an equivalent course in another department.
- An introductory probability course: STAT 225, 311, or 416, or an equivalent course in another department.
- Applied regression analysis, STAT 512.
- Two of the following courses: STAT 513, 514, 416 (if not used to satisfy requirement 2), 417, IE 336.
Courses that do
not require calculus, such as
PSY 201 and
SOC 382, are not equivalent to the courses
listed.
While there are several paths to the statistics minor, here are some sample plans of study which specific majors might find useful:
Management: STAT 225 (probability),
MGMT 305 (statistics), STAT 512, STAT 513, and STAT 514.
Industrial Engineering:
IE 230 (probability),
IE 330 (statistics), STAT 512, STAT 513, and STAT 514.
Science: STAT 511, STAT 225, STAT 512, STAT 513, and STAT 514.
Pharmacy/Nursing/Biology/Agriculture: STAT 503, STAT 225, STAT 512, STAT 513, and STAT 514.
