Required for the minor in statistics and data science
Two core courses:
CMSC/STAT 205: Data-Scientific Programming

Two statistics and data science electives from the list of:
CMSC/STAT 208: Machine Learning

PSYC 340: Cognitive Psychology (with Laboratory)
PSYC 342: Cognitive Psychology
PSYC 343: Cognitive Neuroscience with Laboratory
STAT 445: Mathematical Statistics
STAT 450: Bayesian Statistics
Additional Stipulations:
No more than one of ANTH 207 and BIOL 280 may count toward the minor.
The minor requires a total of six distinct courses. Thus, courses that are listed twice above (such as STAT 450) may count toward one, but not both requirements.
No more than three courses, counting toward any one major or other minor, may be counted toward the minor.
Students who complete the Statistics track of the Mathematics major may not also minor in statistics and data science.
