Statistics program requirements
What the Statistics Major and Minor require, as the 2026-2027 Arts & Science Calendar states it, and every course they name.
Statistics Major
- Science program
- 7.0 or 7.5 credits
- Limited enrolment
- ASMAJ2289
Enrolment
This is a limited enrolment program. Note there are different admission criteria depending on whether a student has completed between 4.0 and 8.5 credits, or 9.0 or more credits. The full enrolment requirements are on the Calendar's page for this program.
Completion requirements
(7.0 or 7.5 credits, including a 0.5 credit STA 400-series course)
First Year:
12.0 to 2.5 credits from STA130H1, CSC108H1/ CSC110Y1/ CSC111H1/ CSC148H1, (MAT130H1/ MAT135H1, MAT136H1)/ (MAT148H1, MAT149H1)/ MAT137Y1/ (MAT158H1, MAT159H1)/ MAT157Y1.
(MAT223H1/ MAT224H1/ MAT240H1 recommended in first year)
Second Year:
22.5 credits from MAT223H1/ MAT224H1/ MAT240H1, MAT235Y1/ (MAT235H1, MAT236H1)/ MAT237Y1/ MAT257Y1; (STA247H1, STA248H1)/ (STA237H1, STA238H1)/ (STA257H1, STA261H1)/ ECO227Y1

Higher Years:
30.5 credit from STA302H1
40.5 credit from STA314H1/ STA365H1/ (STA347H1/ STA357H1)/ STA355H1
50.5 credit from STA414H1/ STA437H1/ STA442H1/ STA457H1/ STA465H1/ STA475H1/ STA480H1
61.0 credit from remaining STA300+ level courses not used toward other program requirements in the following list: STA303H1, STA304H1, STA305H1, STA313H1, STA314H1, STA347H1, STA355H1, STA365H1, STA410H1, STA414H1, STA437H1, STA442H1, STA447H1, STA450H1, STA452H1, STA453H1, STA457H1, STA465H1, STA475H1, STA480H1, STA490Y1, STA492H1, STA496H1/ STA497H1 (STA399H1 and STA399Y1 may be considered on a case by case basis with the approval of the Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies (Statistics)).
Students in this program have the option to complete the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream.
Note:
Note 1If you do not complete STA130H1 in your first year of study, this requirement must be fulfilled by completing a 300 or 400-level 0.5 credit STA course to replace STA130H1. Please note that the 300 or 400-level STA course used to replace STA130H1 cannot be a course that is already being used to meet a program completion requirement.
