Statistics Major + Closely Related major/minor

The department has identified the following as closely related major/minor programs that require modification to the major/minor requirements for students to do both programs.

Mathematical Methods for the Social Sciences (MMSS) major + Statistics major
Integrated Science Program (ISP) major + Statistics major
Statistics major + Data Science major
Statistics major + Data Science minor
Weinberg Computer Science major/minor + Statistics major

 

Mathematical Methods for the Social Sciences (MMSS) major + Statistics major

Students will complete all requirements for MMSS major and requirements for Statistics major are as follows:

See: https://www.mmss.northwestern.edu/undergraduate/degree-requirements/joint-major-requirements.html

 

Integrated Science Program (ISP) major + Statistics major

Students will complete all requirements for ISP major and requirements for Statistics major are as follows:

Statistics Major + Data Science Major

Students will complete all requirements for Statistics major and requirements for Data Science major are modified as follows:

There can be no double counting between the three 300-level elective courses required for the Statistics major and the required Data Science major courses including the elective courses designated as the STAT 201-0, STAT 320-1 and STAT 320-2 replacements.

All other Data Science major requirements must be met.

 

Statistics Major + Data Science minor

Students will complete all requirements for Statistics major and requirements for Data Science minor are as follows:

Note: STAT 301-1, 301-2, 301-3, 302-0, 303-1, 303-2, 303-3, and any 300 level electives being used for the Data Science minor cannot be used to fulfill credit requirements for the Statistics major.

 

Weinberg Computer Science major/minor + Statistics major

 Students will complete all requirements for Computer Science major and requirements for Statistics major are modified as follows:

* Since Weinberg Computer Science majors/minors may take an introductory computer science course other than COMP_SCI 110-0, the Director of Undergraduate Studies will approve the alternative course that satisfies the introductory programming course requirement as well as the replacement elective course.

Weinberg Computer Science majors/minors are responsible for learning Python at the level of STAT 201-0 or COMP_SCI 110-0 and the additional topics identified in this pdf prior to taking a STAT course for which STAT 201-0 is a prerequisite.

According to Weinberg policy the “related” courses for these two majors may be double counted

All other Statistics major requirements must be met.
