Why minor in statistics?

Studying statistics teaches you to understand and interpret information. And with more data available than ever before, demand for professionals with statistical skills is high and rising.

UND offers two paths to the minor in Statistics:

  • Plan A, which requires three semesters of calculus as a prerequisite
  • Plan B, which requires Applied Calculus I as a prerequisite

Whichever track you choose, you'll learn to analyze data, design experiments and solve real-world problems.

The minor in Statistics is a great choice for students majoring in just about any field. Popular choices include engineering, psychology, biology and education.
