statistics

Evidence from the USG Getting to Know Our Students survey indicates that student success in math is closely linked to their perception that the math they are studying has purpose.  For students studying a broad range of disciplines in the social sciences, health sciences, business and education, the most relevant area of mathematics may be statistics.  Indeed, statistical knowledge and understanding has become increasingly important for success in an ever increasing array of fields as the use of, and literacy in, data reshapes our way of viewing the world.  

To support this, the University System of Georgia invited institutions to prototype a Statistics Pathway for 2019-2020 that allows participating institutions to offer elementary statistics (MATH/STAT 1401) as an Area A math course.
