There is a growing demand from many areas for graduates who have a least some statistics on their resume. This is evidenced in the very large number of majors (from CLAS, NSFA, College of Engineering, and others) who require specific courses. The proposed minor in statistics allows student students, and others, to obtain a very attractive addition to their qualifications through a relatively small number of credits in addition to the requirements for their major.
