Statistics Minor

Minor Requirements

The minor in statistics is designed to enhance undergraduate students’ knowledge of statistical methods and theory that has become increasingly important to all sectors of society, particularly in the disciplines of life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, business, and computer science. The need for a STEM professional to analyze and interpret massive amounts of data (Big Data) generated by the synergistic confluence of pervasive sensing, computing, and networking, has increased exponentially. The knowledge acquired from this minor will enable students to gain expertise in statistics to bolster research skills and enhance career opportunities. The coursework in this minor is designed to expose students to statistical computation, theory of mathematical statistics, and many common techniques of statistical analysis.
