Liberal Arts and Sciences: Statistics and Computer Science

NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but be advised that requirements may have changed since this book was published. Errors may have also been introduced in the conversion to a WWW document. Thus for items of importance, it might be wise to seek confirmation from either the paper version or a live human being.

This major is sponsored jointly by the Departments of Statistics and Computer Science. It is designed to prepare students for professional or graduate work in statistics and computer science. Specific requirements are as follows:

Other Specified Electives . At least six statistics, computer science, and mathematics courses, with at least one chosen from each of the following groups:

1. MATH 315, MATH 318--Matrices and linear algebra

2. C S 373, C S 375--Foundations

3. C S 323, C S 325--Software

4. C S 311, C S 318, C S 346--Application software

5. STAT 320, STAT 324, STAT 325--Applied statistics

6. Either STAT 100 taken during the first 60 hours of course work (to provide the student with an early introduction to statistical concepts), or an additional 300-level statistics course, with STAT 326 recommended (this latter option is designed for students who wish to take STAT 310 before the junior year).

Departmental Distinction. To graduate with distinction, a student must have a specified grade-point average in the 300-level statistics, computer science, and mathematics courses listed above. A grade-point average of 4.25 is required for distinction, 4.5 for high distinction, and 4.75 for highest distinction.
