Ph.D. Minor in Applied Statistics

The Department of Mathematical Sciences in the School of Science at IUPUI has developed a master’s degree program in mathematical sciences with a specialization in applied statistics. Accordingly, some doctoral students in the Department of Basic Medical Science in the School of Medicine may find it useful to have a minor in applied statistics as an additional option in their program of study.

Course Requirements
Twelve (12) hours of credit in courses approved for the minor in applied statistics, including STAT 511, STAT 512, and 6 additional credit hours chosen in consultation with the minor representative. For students in Medical and Molecular Genetics, a common option would be to take two of the courses from 524, 525, and 533. Statistical Quality Control (513) might be a desirable elective for students in Pharmacology and Toxicology. Students who have successfully completed Q650 Biostatistics I and Q651 Biostatistics II in the School of Medicine will be exempted from STAT 511.

Examinations
The determination of procedures for meeting the requirements for the minor and the examination procedure prior to admittance to candidacy will be at the discretion of the student’s minor representative on his or her advisory committee from the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
