I'm interested in adding a Major in Statistics, but am currently in a different specialization. (This includes changing from BA Econ to CMJ Econ/Stat.) How can I apply?

If you are in year 2, follow the recommended courses listed in the academic calendar for the Statistics specialization that you are interested in: for example, Major in Statistics, Combined Major CPSC/Statistics, Combined Major Statistics/Economics.

Take Math 200 (multivariable calculus), Math 221 (linear or matrix algebra) and Math/Stat 302 (introductory probability) as soon as possible. Then read the next item.
