Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 22 courses
Students who complete the minor in statistics receive serious exposure to probability theory, statistical estimation theory, statistical analysis, and the design of statistical data collection. Students choosing to minor in statistics are required to complete prerequisite courses in mathematics. Some may be completed concurrently with the 7 courses for the minor. Double-counting note: Weinberg College allows double-counting a prerequisite course for a minor toward some other major or minor, or general bachelor's degree requirement. Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
