Additionally, the Applied Statistics and Data Analysis minor is the most sought after minor within Kennesaw State University.

Majors and minors in mathematics or statistics prepare you for success in many fields, including a surprising variety of professions because of the increasing demand for quantitative literacy and the shortage of people with those skills. Employment prospects upon graduation are further enhanced with the choice of an appropriate minor or track to complement one’s mathematical and statistical interests. Recent KSU graduates with majors or minors in mathematics or statistics have also been accepted into graduate programs in a variety of areas including mathematics, statistics, epidemiology, psychology, kinesiology and law. Study of mathematics is excellent preparation for graduate and professional school entrance examinations such as the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test), GRE (Graduate Record Examination), LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) and the MCAT (Medical College Aptitude Test).
