Statistics Option

The aim of the Statistics Option is to provide the student with a broad background in applied statistics, especially in the areas of multiple regression, quality control, experimental design, and applied probability.

There are four required courses:

Course Title
STAT 231 Statistics (or equivalent, e.g., CHE 220, CIVE 224, ENVE 224, ME 202, MSCI 251, MTE 201, NE 215, SYDE 212)
STAT 331 Applied Linear Models (or equivalent, e.g., SYDE 334)
STAT 332 Sampling and Experimental Design (or equivalent, e.g., MSCI 253)
STAT 435 Statistical Methods for Process Improvements

A student must take three additional courses from those listed below:
