The Center for Applied Statistics offers a minor.
The curriculum starts with courses at the 300 level, and all courses will be cross-listed so that they are open to graduate students also.
The minor requires 15 credits (5 courses) plus a research project which normally will be completed in the student's major department. Many students have found that this experience helps prepare them for graduate school, as well as for positions in the private sector that involve technical analysis.
CAS supports all Masters and Ph.D. programs on campus by offering technical training in statistical theory and data analysis. Graduate-level courses are open to any student meeting the relevant prerequisites.
Courses are offered in fall and spring.

The Center for Applied Statistics is a sustained research and teaching unit, formerly the successful Applied Statistics Program. Our main purposes are: to provide methodological instruction in the social sciences at all levels and complexities, to support faculty and graduate student research through computing infrastructure, and to maintain a national and international profile for statistical research at Washington University. We serve as a connection for statisticians on campus and as a hub for academic statistical interactions in the Missouri geographic area.
