The Statistical Science minor is popular with students who major in Mathematics, Economics, Biology-related majors, and many other disciplines. The growing number of minors reflects the pressing needs for a better quantitatively-trained work force. Students preparing for graduate school are wise to take advantage of the great variety of statistics courses offered on campus and many of them complete the requirements for a minor in Statistical Science.
- Students who are interested in declaring the Statistical Science minor will first need to complete the following courses with a letter grade of C or higher: Math 2A-B or 3A-B, Math 4A-B, Math 6A, and PSTAT 8 (or Math 8).
- Upon completion of the required preparation, students may email the PSTAT Undergraduate Advisor at advising@pstat.ucsb.edu to be added to the Statistical Science minor on GOLD.
- PSTAT 10 is not required for the Statistical Science Minor, but completing it with a letter grade of C or higher unlocks more upper-division elective choices in the future.
- Statistical Science minors do not receive registration priority in PSTAT classes and will need to wait until Pass 3 to enroll in courses for the minor.
A Minor Clearance Form will need to be submitted after the student's last quarter at UCSB has been completed so the minor may be processed.
