Notes:

  • Weather and Climate Risk students should also take intermediate microeconomics (ECON 302).

  • By taking STAT 414, 415 and three other 400/500 STAT courses, students could get a Graduate Minor in Statistics.

  • Courses with 597 numbers may be one-time offerings or may change to a regular course number at some point in time
