Statistics

Many majors at Loyola require a year of calculus; with the addition of just a few more courses you can earn a Statistics Minor. Majors in biology, business, chemistry, computer science, economics, and psychology are especially encouraged to consider this option, as well as pre-med students looking to distinguish themselves on medical school applications. Students will acquire knowledge of statistical techniques and methods, and the computational skills, such as R and SAS, to apply and implement these methods using real data. Students with statistical training are in high demand in industry in a wide array of fields such as medical research, technology companies, pharmaceuticals, insurance, finance, government, genetics, public health, sports, and epidemiology to name a few.

Minor Requirements

  • One year of Calculus (Math 161 & Math 162 or Math 131 & Math 132)
  • Statistics (Stat 203) or Biostatistics (Stat 335)
  • SAS Programming & Applied Statistics (Stat 303)
  • Two electives from:
    • Introduction to Probability Theory (Stat 304)
    • Introduction to Statistical Inference (Stat 305)
    • Stochastic Processes (Stat 306)
    • Statistical Design and Analysis of Experiments (Stat 307)
    • Applied Regression Analysis (Stat 308)
    • Categorical Data Analysis (Stat 310)
    • Advanced Biostatistics (Stat 336)
    • Quantitative Methods in Bioinformatics (Stat 337)
    • Predictive Analytics (Stat 338)
    • Computer Principles of Modeling and Simulation (Stat 321)
    • Longitudinal Data Analysis and Mixed Modelling (Stat 344)
    • Data Science Consulting (Stat 370)
    • Special Topics in Statistics (Stat 388)
