In response to number of requests from students and faculty in several different departments, the UCLA Statistics Department offers an undergraduate minor in statistics. The minor is designed to provide a solid background in applied and theoretical statistics for students who are majoring in some other discipline. Statistics courses that count toward the minor may also count toward other requirements as appropriate, such as the General Education Requirements or the requirements of a particular disciplinary major. Consistent with the Statistics Department's general policy, students may substitute a High School Advanced Placement statistics course for any one of the following introductory courses: Statistics 10, M11 or M12. Students seeking to obtain minor credit for other courses taken elsewhere (e.g., at junior college) will have to make a special request to the department, making the case that the content and level are truly comparable.
The Statistics minor is designed to provide a solid background in applied and theoretical statistics for students who are majoring in some other discipline.
To enter the minor, students should have successfully completed one lower or upper division Statistics Department course.
Required Lower Division Courses (four units): Statistics 10 or M11 or M12 or M13 (or a high school Advanced Placement statistics course).
Required Upper Division Courses (28 units): Required courses are Statistics M100A,100B,100C, M120A, M120B, and two additional courses in Statistics. Statistics 199 and 199I cannot both be used toward the additional two courses.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade, with an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better. A minimum of 20 units applied toward the minor requirements must be in addition to courses applied toward the major requirements or minor requirements in any other Department. Successful completion of the minor is indicated on the transcript and diploma.
