U-STA-MIN - Statistical Science - Minor

The Department of Statistical Science coordinates teaching and research in the statistical sciences at Duke University. In its teaching and research, the department’s faculty members emphasize modern statistical methods involving computationally intensive stochastic modeling, coupled with interdisciplinary applications in many fields. The department also offers courses in basic statistical and data science methods and advanced mathematical statistics.

The minor is designed to provide students in other disciplines with opportunities for exposure and skill development in advanced statistical methods. These are useful for conducting research in applied subjects, and they are appealing to employers and graduate schools seeking students with quantitative skills. The minor is flexible, so that students from most majors can find a path to the minor that serves their needs. A maximum of two grades of D+, D, or D- can be counted toward the minor.
