Requirements for the major in applied statistics, B.S. program


To earn the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in applied statistics, students must:

1. Complete 28 credits in statistics.


5. Complete a course in ethics given by the Department of Philosophy.


6. Complete 16 credits in a single area outside the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to which statistics could be applied.


The 16 credits must include at least one course that is quantitatively oriented. The rest of the 16 credits could come from prerequisite courses or any related courses. These 16 credits must be approved in advance by an adviser in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The courses need not be in a single department, but the total package should constitute a substantive examination of a single area.  Courses used to satisfy this requirement may also be used to satisfy university general education or college exploratory requirements.

7. Earn a minimum grade of 2.0 in each mathematical sciences and computer science course used to satisfy the major requirements.


Additional Information


In addition to these major requirements, students must complete the Oakland University General Education Requirements , the College of Arts and Sciences College Exploratory Requirement , and an appropriate number of free elective classes to meet the overall credit requirement for the degree (in most cases 124; some degrees may require a greater number).

As a general rule, no more than eight credits of course work used to satisfy one major, minor or concentration may be applied toward another, but exceptions to this rule may be allowed with the written approval of the program coordinators.
