Mathematical Statistics Minor
Statistics is a fundamental discipline which is highly desired by employers in many areas of science and social science, business, finance, and medical research. Students will have a significant background and training in mathematics or data science.

- 1
Courses must be taken for a letter grade of C- or better or a mark of Pass (P or P*).
- 2
Courses must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a grade of C- or better.
- 3
After completing MATH 462, students cannot receive credit for MATH 345M/DSCI 345M.
Residency Requirements
We expect students to be in residency for the core Math 461/462/463 sequence and for the remaining 4 credits of applied statistics taught in the Mathematics Department or another science/social science department on campus.
Overlap Policy
The core 461/462/463 sequence will not be allowed to count towards other majors or minors, including Mathematics, Data Sciences, or Computer Science. The additional upper-division 4 credit course in applied statistics will not be allowed to count towards the Mathematics major, Mathematics minor, or Mathematics and Computer Science major.
