Statistics Minor

A statistics minor combined with other majors is excellent preparation for careers or graduate studies in a variety of fields including actuarial science; economics and business; the life, physical, and computing sciences; medicine; and the social sciences. Nearly all these fields have an increasing amount of data being collected, and a developed ability to analyze and solve problems is valued in any discipline. The number of required classes for this minor is kept low to allow students to choose electives most helpful in their own major.
