Why Statistics AP?
- Satisfies 3rd or 4th math for FHSP + Endorsement
- May be beneficial for the college admissions process or scholarship opportunities, particularly at more competitive universities
- An introductory statistics course, similar to the AP Statistics course, is typically required for majors such as social sciences, health sciences and business
- Science, engineering and mathematics majors usually take an upper-level calculus-based course in statistics, for which the AP Statistics course is effective preparation
- Students who successfully complete the course and exam may receive credit, advanced placement or both for a one-semester introductory college statistics course
Who should consider taking Statistics AP?
- Completing non-STEM DLA endorsement path:
- Want advanced mathematics coursework to support college/career plans in STEM, Public Services, or Business & Industry
- Want to complete studies equivalent to a one semester, introductory, non-calculus-based, college course in statistics
- Want the opportunity to potentially earn college credit and/or advanced placement through the AP exam
- Want coursework to be competitive in the admissions process or scholarship opportunities
