By declaring a minor in statistics, you will obtain an understanding of the concepts of statistical inference and a familiarity with the methods of applied statistical analysis. Through the statistics minor, you can participate in statistical analysis in the business or engineering worlds. This minor especially complements majors in the social and natural sciences, and will greatly enhance your preparedness for graduate study in fields involving quantitative analysis.
Declaring a minor allows you to explore other areas of interest and make interdisciplinary connections. With a background and training in statistics, you can set yourself apart as a candidate in professions such as data science, statistical programming, clinical research, neuroimaging data analysis, and many more. This minor also prepares you for graduate studies in statistics or in one of many areas where data analysis plays an important role.
