Statistics Minor

This program follows core guidelines for a minor in statistics recommended by the American Statistical Association, specifically courses in general statistical methodology, statistical modeling and exposure to professional statistical software. In STA303, STA304, STA305, and STA306 students will gain a solid foundation in R and SAS, the two most widely used statistical software packages. Students interested in data science are encouraged to include STA307 in their minor plan. In STA307, programming in R or Python plays a major role, and students intending to include STA307 in their minor should take a computer programming course before their junior year.
