Students interested in the minor must have the prior approval of the Statistics and Data Science Minor Advisors, Professor Mark Low or Professor Winston Lin in order to develop a curriculum for the minor that is appropriate for their interests. If you are a senior who is graduating at the end of the Spring semester, then you need to declare the minor by the end of the Fall semester. Wharton students are not eligible for the Statistics and Data Science Minor.
If you need a permit to register for a course, please do not contact the Statistics and Data Science Minor Advisor for permission to get into the course. The Statistics and Data Science Minor Advisor can grant permission to use a course for your Minor, but only the instructor of the particular course can grant you permission to enroll in the course.
