Applied Statistics

In a data-driven economy, there’s a growing need for analytical skills and statistical knowledge across a wide range of careers. By pursuing a minor in applied statistics, you can deepen your understanding of statistics and learn how to solve complex quantitative problems. Apply your new expertise to your major or an area of interest and gain real-world experience solving problems in a specialized field. 

As an applied statistics minor, you have the option to complete four SAS-based statistics courses and earn your SAS Certificate in data mining. Through this specialization, you’ll learn how to solve real-world problems by applying mathematical principles and develop computer skills for business applications. Bryant is one of only seven undergraduate universities worldwide to offer this prestigious professional designation. Applied statistics minors only need one additional course beyond the minor to complete the SAS certification requirements. Courses include: 

• MATH 455: SAS Programming and Applied Statistics 
• MATH 460: Applied Data Mining
• MATH 461: Applied Multivariate Statistics
• MATH 475: Applied Analytics Using SAS
  or MATH 470: Statistical Design and Analysis of Experiments
