Concentration in Statistics

ASU does not offer statistics as a separate major. Instead, students interested in specializing in statistics can do so as a concentration under the Bachelor of Science program in mathematics. The courses listed below satisfy all of the requirements for a BS degree in mathematics. In addition, the concentration in statistics is noted on the student's transcript.

Note: The concentration is available only to students in the 2001-02 and subsequent catalog years. Students pursuing degrees under previous catalogs may use these courses only to satisfy the requirements for the BS in mathematics.

• All of the following 11 courses - 36 hours
  • MAT 270 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I (3 hr.)
  • MAT 271 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II (3 hr.)
  • MAT 272 Calculus with Analytic Geometry III (3 hr.)
  • MAT 300 Mathematical Structures (3 hr.)
  • MAT 342 Linear Algebra (3 hr.)
    or MAT 343 Modern Linear Algebra (3 hrs.)
  • MAT 371 Advanced Calculus I (3 hr.)
  • CSE 200 Concepts of Computer Science (3 hr.)
  • STP 420 Introductory Applied Statistics (3 hr.)
  • STP 421 Probability (3 hr.)
  • STP 427 Mathematical Statistics (3 hr.)
  • STP 429 Experimental Statistics (3 hr.)
• Select 3 from the following list of 5 courses - 9 hours
  • STP 425 Stochastic Processes (3 hr.)
  • MAT 274 Elementary Differential Equations (3 hr.)
    or MAT 275 Modern Differential Equations (3 hrs.)
  • MAT 372 Advanced Calculus II (3 hr.)
  • MAT 423 Numerical Analysis I (3 hr.)
  • MAT 442 Advanced Linear Algebra (3 hr.)
• 10 additional hours of course work in statistics/probability (STP), mathematics (MAT), or related fields. See the Related Fields Course List for details.

Restrictions:

1. MAT 370 and MAT 371 may not both be counted toward degree requirements in mathematics.
2. Credit may not be earned for both MAT 274 and 275 or both MAT 342 and 343.
3. A minimum grade of C is required in all coursework used to satisfy major requirements.
