- Either MATH 0280 (Introduction to Matrices and Linear Algebra) or MATH 1180 (Linear Algebra 1)
Note. With approval from his or her major advisor, a student may substitute STAT 0200 (Basic Applied Statistics) with a minimum grade of B- for STAT 1000 (Applied Statistical Methods). A Statistics-Business dual major may, with approval, substitute STAT 1100 (Statistics and Probability for Business Management) for STAT 1000.
Because professional statisticians collaborate with other scientists, students are encouraged to take elective courses from the behavioral, natural, physical, and social sciences.
- Statistics majors must adhere to the following rules and requirements as well.
- Students must earn at least a C grade in each course required for the major.
- Students may not take required courses on the S/N option.
- Because 15 credits of mathematics are among the co-requisites for the major, students who complete the major automatically fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences 12-credit related-area requirement.
- Courses in technical writing and public speaking are recommended.
- Students planning to continue their studies in a graduate program are strongly encouraged to take MATH 0413 (Introduction to Theoretical Mathematics), MATH 0420 (Introductory Theory 1-Variable Calculus), MATH 1180 (Linear Algebra 1), and as many additional mathematics courses in advanced calculus, numerical analysis, and computer science as possible.
- To qualify for departmental honors at graduation, students must
- Have a QPA of at least 3.50 in all mathematics and statistics courses taken and a QPA of at least 3.70 in all 1000-level courses taken in the department.
- Complete all other requirements for the statistics major.
