Where STAT-4202 counts
Counts toward 1 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
- STAT 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
