The Minor in Statistics is designed to enable students with an interest in statistics to deepen their knowledge and thus strengthen their major in another field.  A statistics minor enhances your resumé by providing training in a field that employers value.

While the major will often be in a field which makes use of statistics, such as business, economics, a quantitative social science or a health science, it may be in any area of study.

Program Requirements
