Inferential statistics are important for understanding and conducting research in Psychology. Each Psychology major is required to take an approved Statistics course. This requirement is a prerequisite for the research requirement. 

Choose one of the following courses to fulfill the statistics requirement in the Psychology Major: 

• STAT 1010
• STAT 1020
• STAT 1110
• STAT 1120
• STAT 4310
• BIOL 2510
• ECON 2300
• SOCI 2010
• NURS 2300
• ANTH 3454
• CRIM 1200
• ENM 3750

Students are permitted to take a maximum of two statistics courses counting toward the Psychology major: one fulfilling the Statistics requirement and one as a cognate elective. However, the second stats class (cognate elective) must be an advanced statistics course at a level higher than an intro stats course (typically STAT 1020 or STAT 1120 can count as a cognate elective in the major). Students considering graduate school are encouraged to take an advanced statistics course. If you are unsure of which advanced statistics course is appropriate, please contact Claire Ingulli.
