The School of Statistics offers "Minor in Statistics" programs for both the M.S. and Ph. D. degrees. The minors are for graduate students in other programs wishing to gain a broader understanding of statistical methods. All statistics minors must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies.

The Master's minor requires at least 9 semester credits in 4xxx, 5xxx, or 8xxx statistics courses.

The doctoral minor requires a theory sequence (for example, Stat 4101-4102 or 5101-5102) and familiarity with various statistical methods (for example, from courses such as Stat 5201, 5302, 5303, 5401, 5421, or 5601). Typical doctoral minor programs contain 14 to 18 semester credits. The Director of Graduate Studies should be consulted in advance for planning and approval of a balanced program.
