Statistics
A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE. Statistics Undergraduate Advising information can be found here.
The Minor in Statistics is available to students registered in the BA, BSc and BCS 120 credit hour major, honours or 90 credit hour minor programs.
BSc/BA (90 Credit hour) Minor in Statistics
The 90 credit hour Minor in Statistics is appropriate for students who want to study some Statistics but do not wish to complete the conventional four-year program. The degree is best suited for students who want a general science degree with some specialization in Statistics. A 90 credit hour degree program is not suitable for students who wish to pursue graduate studies. With additional study, the degree may be upgraded to a 120 credit hour Major or Honours degree at a later date.
A 90 credit hour BSc or BA in Statistics is usually the preferred option for students who wish to combine studies in Statistics with a degree in Engineering (see BSc/BEng or BA/BEng Concurrent Program).
BSc/BA (120 Credit hour) Minor in Statistics
The 120 credit hour Minor in Statistics is available to students registered in a Bachelor of Applied Computer Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Community Design, Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Informatics, Bachelor of Management, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) program.
The 120 credit hour Major in Statistics is suited to students who want to focus on Statistics, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program.
BSc/BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Statistics
The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Statistics with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science or the College of Sustainability. Statistics may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA.
It is recommended that students enrolled in a Double Major program consult with advisors in both subject areas.
The Honours program in Statistics will provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of both theoretical and applied statistics and will enable students to move easily into challenging employment or Graduate Studies in Statistics.
Honours students must write a research-based Honours thesis. The research thesis and the Honours Qualifying Examination requirement are satisfied through completion of STAT 4950.03.
Admission to Honours
Students must APPLY for admission to Honours programs. Students considering Honours in Statistics should consult with a Statistics Honours Advisor early in their studies.
*Students interested in taking an Honours in Statistics program combined with another subject should consult the Statistics Advisor through whom a suitable course of study can be arranged.
