Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Minors available to students in Statistics
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their Major or Honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour BSc or BA programs.
Students in a BSc or BA (120 credit hour) program in Statistics may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors. Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.
Certificates
In combination with a BSc or BA in Statistics, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements can be found at the beginning of the Faculty of Science section. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements section.
Certificates of particular interest to student enrolled in a BSc or BA in Statistics include:
BSc/BEng or BA/BEng Concurrent Program
Students interested in combining their interest in Program with a degree in Engineering may choose a BSc/BEng or BA/BEng Concurrent Program, normally completed in a 5 year period. Over the first three years, students complete the requirements for a 90 credit hour BSc or BA degree in Statistics and a Diploma of Engineering (the first two years of engineering studies). Two more years of engineering studies are then required to obtain a BEng. Interested students should see an undergraduate advisor from Statistics and from the Faculty of Engineering in their first year of study.
Required Statistics courses for a BSc/BEng or BA/BEng program in Statistics
- A minimum of 18 credit hours in Statistics courses at the 2000 level or higher, which must include STAT 2060.03, STAT 2080.03, STAT 3340.03 and at least one other STAT course4 at or above the 3000 level
4Statistics courses are any courses listed or cross-listed as STAT. The following can also be counted towards statistics credit hours:
