Features and Conditions
- Completion of the minor will be noted in the student’s transcript as Minor in Applied Statistics and Research Methods.
- No other course substitutions are permitted.
- This minor is not available to students in the Applied Statistics and Research Methods degree program.
- Some or all of the SRM courses used for the minor may be part of a student’s program of required or elective classes.
No application to the Applied Statistics and Research Methods program is required. In consultation with their doctoral program advisors, students may include sufficient SRM courses in their programs of study to meet the requirements for the minor.
