About This Program
Statistics is a science concerned with generating and analyzing data. Statisticians develop techniques to overcome problems in data collection and analysis. They use statistical methods to collect and analyze data and to help solve real-world problems in business, engineering, healthcare and other fields.
The Statistics minor is based on the completion of traditional mathematics courses including calculus and linear algebra, a required introductory statistics course, one advanced course in a traditional statistics area and two additional advanced elective statistics courses. The Statistics minor certifies your quantitative, problem-soling, and critical thinking skills.
