  • * Provide a description of the new program as it would appear in the College Catalog.*

    The statistics minor focuses on methods of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting empirical data, and on communicating the results.

    This should include an intro paragraph (or overview) and student learning outcomes. For GR programs, include program highlights, career potential, graduate admissions information and deadlines. You may refer to an existing program in the college catalog as a guide/template.
  • * Justification and summary for a new program*

    Mathematics majors who do not intend to teach do not have a career path laid before them.  We've long wanted to provide marketable skills to these students and this minor is intended to open a pathway in data science, and analytics.

    Attached are the statistics minor requirements for some of our neighboring universities.  You can see that they vary widely in their requirements.  We intend to develop a wide variety of courses for the minor and eventually to incorporate other courses from across campus into the minor.  We want not only to offer this as an option for our math majors who do not intend to teach, but also to attract students from economics, health, sport management, psychology, and other majors into this minor.

    The two required statistics courses would be MAT 201 (or any of its cross-listed courses) as a basic introduction to statistics and data analysis, and MAT 450 to provide a rigorous understanding of probability distributions and a formal development of the ideas forming the basis for statistics.

    Be as detailed as possible; this information will be included in the SUNY submission.
  • Expected Student Learning Outcomes*
    Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: Summarize data sets using a variety of different measures. Use regression techniques in modeling data. Use continuous and discrete probability distributions to calculate probabilities and expectations, make predictions, and test hypotheses. Identify and apply appropriate techniques in the analysis of data. Apply probability theory in decision making.
    Please include this language when adding your SLOs Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
