In addition to the general education and statistics, mathematics, and computer science requirements for all statistics majors, students selecting the applied statistics option must take sufficient credits in another field to obtain a minor (or the equivalent of a minor) in that field. The total credits for the courses below plus those in the statistics, mathematics, and computer science category must total 72. Together with the 48 required general education requirements, this is a total of 120 credits.

Possible choices of a supporting field are listed below. If a student wants to work in a supporting area that does not have a minor, he/she can propose a list of six appropriate courses and petition the Statistics Department for approval.
