Statistics Requirement

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. 

The following courses 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. Students considering graduate school are encouraged to take an advanced statistics course as a cognate elective. If you are unsure of which advanced statistics course is appropriate, please contact Claire Ingulli.
