Minor in Statistics

The minor program of the Bachelor of Science degree consists of 18 semester hours of statistics as listed below.  The minor is quite flexible and can be designed to be theoretical or applied in nature.  Careful selection of courses to be included in the program is thus mandatory and a program is to be planned under the guidance and with the approval of an advisor in the Mathematics and Statistics department.  The student should be aware that failure to consult with the minor advisor at least once each semester could result in a delay of completion of the program or loss of departmental recommendation.

I. Required Courses (12 hours)
 

Course #	Title	Units	Semester Taken
STA 270	Applied Statistics	(3)	____________
STA 371	Intermediate Statistics	(3)	____________
STA 471	Regression Analysis	(3)	____________
STA 472	Nonparametric Statistics	(3)	____________

Plus, two (2) of the following:
 

MAT 368	Mathematical Modeling	(3)	____________
MAT 467	Operations Research	(3)	____________
STA 473	Introduction to Mathematical Statistics I	(3)	____________
STA 474	Introduction to Mathematical Statistics II	(3)	____________
STA 570	Statistical Methods I	(3)	____________
