A minor in statistics provides you with both theoretical and applied experiences. It also complements degrees in a number of other fields, such as mathematics, engineering and economics. USI’s curriculum for the statistics minor includes a strong foundation in calculus, probability, and mathematical statistics and allows you the flexibility to choose electives in statistics that correspond to your individual interests.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
