The following is a list of courses that can be counted toward the unit requirement for the statistics minor degree in the Department of Mathematics. The list will be expanded if it is determined that courses not listed below also fit the necessary criteria. See the USC Catalogue<\/a> for course descriptions. Students should be aware that registration in any course requires that all course prerequisites be satisfied, and that no prerequisite will be waived for the special purpose of the course being a minor elective. We urge students to plan their schedules and elective choices well in advance and have alternatives electives in mind, since courses are sometimes cancelled due to lack of enrollment. Note also that some courses below are less than four units, and students choosing such an elective should be aware that they are still subject to the total unit requirement of the minor degree. Further below<\/a> are courses that may not<\/em> be used as electives for the minor.<\/p>\n

In addition, any elective<\/a> approved for the Masters of Science in Statistics<\/a> can be used for the statistics minor.<\/strong> As with some of the courses below, many of the Masters of Science electives are less than four units and students choosing such an elective should be aware that they are still subject to the total unit requirement of the minor degree. Students in need of one elective unit may want to consider taking a Directed Research course outside their major department.<\/p>\n
