A minor in Statistics gives students a background in the theory and application of statistical methodology. It is intended to complement undergraduate degree programs in the Volgenau School of Engineering and the College of Science.
Program Requirements
2015-2016 Academic Year
The minor in Statistics provides students with a background in the theory and application of statistical methodology. It is intended to complement undergraduate degree programs in the Volgenau School and the College of Science, especially those programs that require MATH 113, MATH 114, and STAT 344 as a part of the major requirements.
To be admitted to the minor, students must have completed MATH 113 and MATH 114 with a grade of C or better.
Minor Requirements
The minor in Statistics requires 15 credit hours of course work. Grades of C or better are required in all courses. At least 8 credits must be in courses not required by the student's major.
Core Requirements (12 credits)
- STAT 344 - Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists I (3 credits)
- STAT 354 - Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists II (3 credits)
- STAT 362 - Introduction to Computer Statistical Packages (3 credits)
- STAT 456 - Applied Regression Analysis (3 credits)
Note:
STAT 346 and a course in statistics, such as STAT 250, can be substituted for the STAT 344 core requirement.
Elective (3 credits)
One course chosen from:
- STAT 455 - Experimental Design (3 credits)
- STAT 463 - Introduction to Exploratory Data Analysis (3 credits)
