Procedures for the Minor in Psychological Statistics and MethodsThe
student selects a member of the Psychological Statistics and Methods
Coordinating Committee who is willing to serve as the student's minor
area adviser. Committee members are listed on the form "Request for
Admission to the Minor and Plan of Study." Together,
the student and minor area adviser specify a plan of study for the
minor that lists the courses to be taken and a schedule for their
completion. A total of seven courses at the 7000 level or above in
statistics and methods is required. Doctoral students in the Department
of Psychological Sciences or Statistics must take at least two of those
courses outside their major department.
Doctoral
students in departments other than the Department of Psychological
Sciences or Statistics must take five courses within these two
departments, at least two of which are in statistics and two of which
are in psychology.More
detailed specification of the courses required in the plan of study may
be stipulated by the student's major department and the student should
consult with their major department in this regard. Students in the Ph.D. program in the Department of Psychological Sciences must complete, with a grade of "B" or better:All of the following four courses from the Department of Psychological SciencesPsych 8710 General Linear Models in Psych IPsych 8720 General Linear Models in Psych IIPsych 9710 Multivariate Statistics in PsychologyPsych 9720 Latent Variable Models

approved courses at the 7000 level or above offered in the Departments
of Statistics, Mathematics, or in other departments provided those
courses are primarily statistics-oriented or methods-oriented. The
Psychology Department Graduate Student Handbook contains course
suggestions. Note that Statistics 7510 cannot be used to fulfill minor
requirements.After the plan of study
for the minor has been approved by both the student's major adviser and
the student's minor area adviser, it is submitted to the Coordinator
for the Minor in Psychological who will either review and sign it (if
it meets the stated requirements) or request a review of the plan by
the full committee. If the Coordinator for the Minor signs the form,
the student should then request the remaining signatures from the
remaining committee members for the minor. After the
plan of study has been approved, any course changes in the plan must be
approved by the student's major adviser, the student's miner-area
adviser, and the Psychological Statistics and Methods Coordinating
Committee using the "Plan of Study Course Substitution Form."After
successfully completing the courses listed in the plan of study, the
student will submit a "request for certification" to the Coordinator
for the Minor who will then notify the Graduate School that the student
has completed the requirements for the Minor in Psychological
Statistics and Methods and that the student's transcript should
indicate that accomplishment.
