Statistics

A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE. Statistics Undergraduate Advising information can be found听.

The Minor in Statistics is available to students registered in the BA, BSc and BCS 120 credit hour major, honours or 90 credit hour minor programs.听

BSc/BA (90 Credit hour) Minor in Statistics

The 90 credit hour Minor in Statistics is appropriate for students who want to study some Statistics but do not wish to complete the conventional four-year program. The degree is best suited for students who want a general science degree with some specialization in Statistics. A 90 credit hour degree program is not suitable for students who wish to pursue graduate studies. With additional study, the degree may be upgraded to a 120 credit hour Major or Honours degree at a later date.

A 90 credit hour BSc or BA in Statistics is usually the preferred option for students who wish to combine studies in Statistics with a degree in Engineering (see ).

BSc/BA (120 Credit hour) Minor in Statistics

The 120 credit hour Minor in Statistics is available to students registered in a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Community Design, Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Informatics, Bachelor of Management,听 Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) program.

Requirements (Minor)

A minimum of 18 to a maximum of 36 credit hours in Statistics, which must include:

  • .03: Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra
  • .03: Introduction to Probability and Statistics
  • .03: Statistical Methods for Data Analysis and Inference
  • .03: Introduction to Data Mining with R
  • .03: Regression and Analysis of Variance
  • At least one additional statistics1 course at the 2000 level or above (3 credit hours)
  • At least one additional statistics course at the 3000 level or above (3 credit hours)

Statistics courses are any courses listed or cross-listed as STAT, (including ). The following can also be counted as 2000 level statistics credit hours:

The 120 credit hour Major in Statistics is suited to students who want to focus on Statistics, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program.

BSc/BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Statistics

The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Statistics with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science or the College of Sustainability. Statistics may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA.

It is recommended that students enrolled in a Double Major program consult with advisors in both subject areas.
