Approved Online Statistics Course

[CurrySpice]

I have an official solution from UPenn admissions office!

This thread is just an FYI in case anyone else is searching and only comes up with my useless old thread asking for suggestions.

Apparently "Introduction to Statistics" will fulfill Penn's requirements for math or Bio statistics. You DON'T need a course that is officially oriented towards science majors.

They did reject Purdue's "Elementary Statistical Methods" but the description appeared to be less math-oriented than KSU.

This course is offered at Kansas State University.
