Department of Mathematics and Statistics, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences,

Knowledge of statistics is crucial for understanding our world. An understanding of statistics is vital in many disciplines including psychology, sociology, political science, marketing and economics. Students can choose to study statistics as a minor in the B.A. Honours Program or as an area of concentration in the General Program.

Area of Concentration (General Program)

A minimum of 5.00 credits in Statistics and Mathematics is required, including:

1. no more than 1.00 credits from courses at the 1000 level
2. 3.00 credits in statistics (STAT), 2.00 of which must be from courses at the 3000 level or above
