Statistics Minor


Requirements for the Minor (15 credits)


  • Before undertaking this minor, the student must establish the prerequisites for the required minor courses.
  • ALL COURSES REQUIRED FOR THIS MINOR MUST BE TAKEN AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY
    • Transfer, AP, IB, and A LEVEL credit cannot be used for the minor.
    • P/NP option is not allowed for the minor
  • Students must earn a 2.0 average in MA/STAT/IE/MGMT courses required for the minor. 

Due to Minor Requirements and Pre-requisites, Below are the Suggested Pathways for Specific Majors


Majors that require MA 26100 (Calculus III)


If your specific major is not listed, but your major requires you to take Calculus III, this is the suggested pathway through the minor.  Mathematics majors should consider a dual major in Mathematics with Statistics instead of adding a Statistics minor.

Majors that do not require MA 26100 (Calculus III)


If your specific major is not listed, but your major DOES NOT require you to take Calculus III, this is the suggested pathway through the minor. 

Notes


  • AT LEAST 9 credits of the 15 credit hour minor must be STAT courses. IE 53000 and MA 41600 are considered STAT courses due to cross-listing
  • Students Majoring in Actuarial Science, Actuarial Science Honors, Data Science, Applied Statistics, Mathematical Statistics, Statistics with Math Emphasis, and/or Statistics Honors cannot complete this minor.
  • Courses that do not require calculus, such as PSY 20100 and SOC 38200 are not equivalent to the courses listed.
  • Credit for the STAT minor is not allowed for more than one course in each group (per Course Catalog descriptions):
    • STAT 22500, STAT 31100, STAT 41600 or MA 41600
