For programs other than those in the Social Sciences minimum average requirements would need to be met to be able to apply the courses towards the degree. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific program requirements.

STATISTICAL SCIENCE 1024A/B BASIC STATISTICAL METHODS. ANTI-REQUISITE(S): All other courses or half-courses in Introductory Statistics, except Statistical Sciences 1023A/B. PREREQUISITE(S): Grade 12U Math, Math 0110A/B.

PSYCHOLOGY Math 1228A/B and Statistical Science 1024A/B are required for all modules in Psychology (with the exception of the Minor in Psychology). Because the course is not anti-requisite to other statistics courses, students may take the course for either exploratory or preparatory reasons. Math 1228A/B, although not an official prerequisite, is excellent preparation for Statistical Sciences 1024A/B.

MATH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL Please note: Prior to registering in Math 0110A/B, Math 1230A/B, and Calculus 1000A, it is strongly recommended that you complete the Math Diagnostic Tool which will assist you in registering for the appropriate level of math for your desired program.
