STATISTICS
Advanced coursework and projects will be available in 2020 for students who complete this major.

Statistics major
A major in Statistics requires 48 credit points from this table including:
(i) 12 credit points of 1000-level units according to the following rules:
(a) 6 credit points of calculus and 3 credit points of linear algebra and 3 credit points of statistics*. (Students in the Mathematical Sciences program must choose this option^);
(b) 3 credit points of calculus and 3 credit points of linear algebra and 6 credit points of data science*
(ii) 12 credit points of 2000-level core units
