Minor

Statistics is fun.

There’s something deeply satisfying about taking a messy pile of data and finding the signal in the noise. Supporting an argument with evidence instead of just arguing about it. Being the person in the room who can say, actually, let’s look at the numbers. 

At Knox, we treat statistics as a tool that becomes powerful when combined with something else you care about. That’s why our program is structured as a minor. You’ll build technical skills and apply them to questions that matter to you—whether that’s in business, biology, economics, political science, or environmental studies. You’ll learn from faculty who are practicing statisticians in their own fields: a political scientist who analyzes elections, a biochemist who works with genomic data, an economist who studies labor markets.

Where We Go

Knox students learn the nuts and bolts of statistical analysis through our minor in statistics and broader applications through majors in another field. But beyond that, we learn to write clearly, think critically and creatively, discuss (and argue) constructively, and present ourselves confidently.

Employers want new hires ready with these skills so that they make a difference in their corporation or nonprofit from day one. That's why recruiters from Epic Systems (an industry leader in healthcare software), Sigma Aldrich (a multinational chemical, life science, and biotechnology company), and Kirkland & Ellis (an international law firm) frequently travel to Knox to recruit students for internships and careers with their companies.
