Note: We recommend that all students doing the statistics concentration declare a minor in statistics. Be aware that many statistics classes can be hard to get into because of high demand. While some preference for enrollment is given to statistics minors, you should make alternative plans in case you cannot get into the classes you need in a given semester.

Statistics Concentration recommended schedule (EMC2)

Each concentration has 2 MAPs (Major Academic Plans); one for students who have completed MATH 113 (Start with EMC2) and those who have not (Start with Math 112).

Statistics: EMC2

  • It is recommended that you take the classes highlighted in blue as part of the EMC2 program (see EMC2.byu.edu). If you have credit for Math 113, you can start EMC2 now.
  • Since this concentration does not require CS 235, ACME Major can count your EMC2 experience as your CS 111 credit, but it is recommended that you take CS 235 (with Prerequisite CS 111) before starting the Junior Core.

Statistics: No Prior Calculus Credit
