Can I take a non-Biology statistics course towards my 2000-level Biology core requirements?

Can I take a non-Biology statistics course towards my 2000-level Biology core requirements?


BIOL 2060 is the only statistics course that will count towards your total BIOL credits and satisfy one of the 2000-level Biology core requirements. Other courses (such as the course credit exclusions for BIOL 2060 – e.g., MATH 2560, PSYC 2021, etc.) will not be included in your total BIOL credits and cannot be used towards the biology 2000-level core. 

In most cases you can use a non-Biology statistics course as a prerequisite for a course that requires BIOL 2060 (e.g., BIOL 2050, 4085) – check with the course director. 

Remember: if you complete two statistics courses that are course credit exclusions, you will lose credit for the first one.
