Minor in Statistics at UVa
Requirements for the Minor in Statistics
Five (5) courses selected from: All STAT courses numbered 300 or above, MATH 312, MATH 511. These 5 courses must include: STAT 512 and at most one of MATH 312 or STAT 500. With the consent of the Statistics faculty, a student who has had an appropriate introductory statistics course in another department may be exempted from the MATH 312/STAT 500 requirement. Such a student will still need to take 5 courses from among MATH 511 and the STAT courses numbered 300 or above.
Courses used to satisfy the Minor in Statistics and Data Analysis cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of another major. For example, a student who takes MATH 311/312 to satisfy the requirements of the major in Mathematics, must take 5 additional courses from
MATH 511 and the STAT courses numbered 300 or above (excluding STAT 500).
