The Minor in Statistics
Data collection and analysis is an important part in many scientific investigations
in various academic disciplines. Some study programs request the student to
take one or two statistics courses as part of their curriculum. However, in many
situations, deeper and more sophisticated knowledge of Statistics is beneficial,
not only during undergraduate studies and graduation projects, but also in their
graduate studies where research, data collection, data analysis and the related
issues are essential. To fullfil this need, the minor in Statistics is developed
where the students are expected to get firm foundation in Statistics so that they
can collect and analyze their data with the help of statistical packages like
Minitab, SPSS and Excel. The following study plan for the Minor in Statistics is
designed to help in achieving these goals and objectives with the desired
learning outcomes.
