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

Knowledge of statistics is crucial for understanding our world. Statistics plays a fundamental role in virtually all scientific disciplines, including biology, psychology, chemistry, marketing, medicine, epidemiology and economics. Students minoring in Statistics will develop practical skills in data visualization and analysis, statistical computing, technical writing and communication in a variety of applications areas, preparing them well for careers in the modern workplace.

Minor Requirements (Honours)

This minor cannot be combined with a major or minor in Mathematical Science.

A total of 5.00 credits is required to complete the minor, including:

Diploma in Applied Statistics Requirements

The Diploma in Applied Statistics is a program offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, which seeks to give students of the Applied Sciences a technical competency in the use and application of Statistics.

The program is intended mainly for those whose primary area of expertise is not in Statistics, but who feel the need to be able to use modern statistical techniques. This program seeks to fill a need of scientists to reach a useful level of competency in the use of statistical methodology.

The program consists of 5.00 credits chosen from the following list. Note that first-year courses in calculus and linear algebra are prerequisites for most of the courses on this list; take into account any necessary prerequisites when determining the sequence in which courses are taken. Consult an advisor from the department for assistance.
