Statistics Minor Requirements (spring 2018 or earlier)

The minor in statistics was developed to provide in-depth training in statistical methods and techniques well beyond the training usually received by science and engineering majors. The ability to understand, visualize, and analyze data is becoming an increasingly important skill in many disparate fields. This minor offers undergraduate students from any major the opportunity to develop their statistical knowledge.

Prerequisites for the Statistics minor are two semesters of calculus and computing experiences such as provided by CSCI 1300, CSCI 1310, or CHEN 1310 (formerly COEN 1300).

Residency

A minimum of 19 credits at the 2000-level and above is required. At least three applied mathematics courses, two of which must be at the 3000-level or above, need to be taken on the Boulder campus. No more than nine credit hours may be applied from transfer work; of those nine, no more than six may be 3000-level or above.

Minimum Grades

A cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better is required in the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for this minor. Each individual course that is counted towards these degree requirements must be passed with a grade of C- or better.

Course Requirements

And ONE of the following courses:

Any one of APPM 3 credit special topics Probability/Statistics courses may also be used to meet this requirement²

¹:APPM 4580 has a prerequisite of APPM 4570 (Statistical Methods)

²: A student cannot earn a minor in Statistics and a minor in Applied Mathematics with the probability and statistics emphasis.
