STAT 22000: Statistical Methods And Applications (2026 Spring)
This is NOT the official course website for STAT 22000.
The official site is on Canvas (log in with your CNetID). This page is intended for prospective students interested in STAT 22000 to learn more about the course.
Should I Take STAT 22000?
Course Prerequisite: One quarter of Calculus (MATH 13100 or 15100, AP Calculus, or higher)
- STAT 22000 is equivalent to AP Statistics.
- If you have AP Statistics credit (score of 5) but wish to take STAT 22000, please note: Upon completion of either STAT 22000 or STAT 23400, your AP Statistics credit will be forfeited.
- AP Statistics credit counts toward mathematics core requirements and can fulfill prerequisites for Statistics courses requiring STAT 22000.
- STAT 22000 is a good starting course for the Statistics minor (under certain conditions) and counts toward the minor.
- For Statistics majors: STAT 22000 does NOT count toward the major. You must complete three quarters of Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra, followed by Mathematical Statistics (STAT 24400–24500). STAT 22000 is not required before STAT 24400–24500.
