Would taking biostats cover the pre-req of statistics? Are they both the same thing?

I would check with the school just to be safe.

Mine did, but they are not the same thing. You learn the same concepts in both but you apply them to biology stuff in biostats. I'm currently taking my third stats class (now in pharm school...well, mba portion actually) 👎
