What it takes for a Math department to develop a minor program in Statistics? What it minimally takes for a Math department to develop a minor program in Statistics? Do the department require to have a major in area X to have a X minor? 

Edit: How many courses at minimum does the department need to have a minor in Stats.  I see many departments requires students to take 5-6 Stats class to have a minor in Stats, so I thought if a department offers 5-6 Stats classes, can they develop a minor in Stats in general?  Are there any common rules one needs to follow to create a Stats minor, or any minor in general?
Other than my "context" comment above, this standard simply will not be the same at all schools.  Your best bet is to ask your department dean/chair who will either know the answer or where to find the answer.
