Statistics Minor
The statistics minor is intended to give students majoring in other disciplines an introduction to applied statistical methods. The
program is structured to accommodate students from a variety of traditional academic disciplines, including, but not restricted to: biology, behavioral & social sciences, business, secondary education, engineering, and technology. Five statistics courses are required to complete a statistics minor as indicated below. At least three of these courses must be listed in the Mathematics, Statistics and Physics department.
- An introductory probability course: STAT 225 or 311
- An introductory statistics course: STAT 301, 350, 503, PSY 201 or 203
- Two core courses: STAT 361 and STAT 362
- One of the following courses: STAT 363, STAT 465, or MET 451
Although there are several paths to the statistics minor, below are some sample plans of study which specific majors might find useful:
- Biology: STAT 225, STAT 503, STAT 361, STAT 362, STAT 363
- Behavioral & Social Sciences: STAT 225, PSY 201, STAT 361, STAT 362, STAT 363
- Business: STAT 225, STAT 301, STAT 361, STAT 362, STAT 363
- Secondary Education: STAT 311, STAT 350, STAT 361, STAT 362, STAT 465
- Engineering: STAT 311, STAT 350, STAT 361, STAT 362, MET 451
- Technology: STAT 225, STAT 301, STAT 361, STAT 362, MET 451
Students must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours for the statistics minor. All courses must be taken for a grade: there is no Pass/ No Pass option. Students are expected to earn a minimum GPA of 2.5 in coursework leading up to the minor. Students are expected to take courses in sequence, based on prerequisites.
