Statistics

Statistics courses are offered in support of other areas of study. The major and minor are not offered in this area.

Statistics 161, 162, and 163 overlap greatly in content but differ somewhat in purpose and emphasis. While the three will meet the needs of many students equally well, it is strongly recommended that sociology majors enroll in Statistics 162 and that psychology majors enroll in Statistics 163.

No more than one of these courses (161, 162, 163) may count toward the 120 semester hours for the B.A. or 124 semester hours for the B.S. required to graduate. If a student completes more than one of them, each will remain on the transcript, but only the one in which the student obtained the higher grade will count toward graduation and be included in the GPA.
