Seven upper division Statistics courses in support of a new Minor in Statistics have been developed to be taught by two statisticians at The University of Northern British Columbia. These courses have been designed so that non-specialist undergraduate and postgraduate students can enrol in these courses. Five undergraduate courses are paired with parallel courses for postgraduate credit for a proposed Master of Science to be offered by the School of Business and a proposed Health Sciences doctoral program. Through discussions with the curricula committees for these programs, course prerequisites became calculus and linear algebra courses as taught to non-science majors. This requirement generally exceeds that expected for typical non-specialist courses but is less than the usual for specialist courses. The R statistical software package and the fundamentals of graphical display will be incorporated throughout this new curriculum.
