What to do for Statistics?

[Jonathan Whatley]

Double check your degree plan because ALEKS is a very cheap way to earn 12 credits (Int. Alg, Col. Alg & Trig or Precalc, Stats) at only $20/mth. If you still need some other credits this is one way to go.

VA, you mentioned you were looking at Charter Oak.

• Charter Oak won't take the ACE-reviewed ALEKS Beginning Algebra or Intermediate Algebra because they won't take any transfer credit in algebra at this level. (There is a 1 semester hour Elementary Algebra CO offers in-house as a 5-week online course.) This is less generous than TESC and EC, which I believe both take Intermediate.

• Charter Oak will, as of recently, take any or all of ALEKS Introduction to Statistics, Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, and Business Statistics, 3 sh each, for up to 9 sh. This is more generous than TESC and EC. However, CO will put all these credits in the lower level rather than the upper level given in the ACE recommendation. I believe any of these can meet the Mathematics gen ed requirement, though the Business Statistics credit isn't counted as Liberal Arts.

I don't know how they count the other ALEKS math courses.
