Difference from the full major:

The full Statistics major requires 43 credits in ACMS and MATH courses. This supplementary major requires one fewer statistics elective and one fewer ACMS elective.

Double counting issues:

  • A student is permitted to double count Calculus I (MATH 10550) and Calculus II (MATH 10560) for a first major and this supplementary major.
  • A student whose first major requires Calculus III (MATH 20550) and Ordinary Differential Equations (MATH 20750) is exempt from Introduction to Applied Mathematics Methods I (ACMS 20550) and Introduction to Applied Mathematical Methods II (ACMS 20750), but must complete an additional 6 credits of electives in ACMS. The same principle applies to any other courses required by a first major and this program.
