Health-related: Your major requires a Statistics course

Your major requires a Statistics course

If you have already completed a Statistics class at another University or received a 3 or higher in the AP Statistics exam, you may have already completed the Statistics requirement for your major. 

If you satisfied your Area 2 (math) requirement with a non-Statistics class or AP score, you will need to take one of the Statistics classes offered at SFSU in order to complete the major requirement.
