The Statistics minor gives students the skills needed to collect, analyze, and interpret data in academic and professional settings. It supports majors that use data to answer questions, solve problems, and make informed decisions.
Students who complete this minor are better prepared for careers or graduate study in fields such as business, healthcare, social sciences, research, education, public policy, and technology. The Statistics minor is especially useful for students who want to strengthen their data analysis skills or add quantitative expertise to another major.
This minor is not available to Mathematics or Actuarial Science majors, since those programs already include multiple statistics courses.
