To satisfy degree requirements, students must complete either the Applied Statistics Track or the Mathematical Statistics Track.

**As of the Spring 2022 semester, requirements for the Statistics minor have changed, and students are no longer required to select a track for completion. 

Students currently enrolled in this previous version of our minor can still pursue their selected track, but If you would like to discuss switching to the updated minor requirements please reach out to a Stat advisor at stat-advising@illinois.edu**
