i am a post baccalaureate student who took business statistics during my first degree. it was offered by the statistics department and taught by a statistics professor so it has the "STAT" prefix on the course.

if you can answer with certainty, do you know if such a course will count toward the math requirement at school such as hopkins where 1 year of math is required? (i also previously took the regular calculus I)

It will be different from school to school, so you will have to call. I am fairly sure that at most places it will count for one of your math courses.

Aren't you required to take some sort of math class at your college? I took business stats in undergrad only because I majored in finance and marketing, but I don't see how that would count as a math class. Do they say they accept "statistics" courses for their math requirement or something?

Ask your advisor, prob depends on the school. I wouldn't count on it if it's used as a "joke" class

i took calculus I from the regular math department with all the engineering, physics, etc. kids

that specific statistics was required for my degree - i am coming from a previous career in finance

yeah i'll probably do that. i don't mind taking another statistics, but i'm trying to save time/money if at all possible

I guess I don't understand the situation. I thought you were wondering if this business stats class will count towards a math requirement... You've taken a real math class and you've taken business statistics. Are you worrying about trying to fulfill a requirement for statistics or math?

Could go either way. Hopkins themselves say that it's a yr of calc and/or stats, without specifying what kind. If it's 80%business and 20%other stats, probably not.
