Without statistics, you’re just another person with an opinion.
The statistics minor provides a background in statistics for students majoring in a variety of disciplines. Statistical methods and theory have become increasingly important in many disciplines such as the life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering and business. As more and more data are collected, stored and analyzed, students are finding it increasingly beneficial to gain expertise in statistics to bolster their research skills and enhance their career opportunities.
