ACE Credit
Many Statistics.com students ask how they can get credit for Statistics.com courses at their college or university. While each institution makes its own decisions about whether to grant credit and how much to grant, most U.S. higher education institutions participate in the American Council on Education's (ACE) credit recommendation service. ACE, the major coordinating body for U.S. higher education institutions, seeks to provide leadership and a unifying voice on key higher education issues and to influence public policy through advocacy, research, and program initiatives.
ACE has evaluated and recommended college credit for these two Statistics.com courses:
| Course title | Credits | ACE Transfer Credit Value |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction to Statistics (Both Introduction to Statistics 1: Inference for a Single Variable and Introduction to Statistics 2: Working with Bivariate Data must be satisfactorily completed) |
3.00 Semester Hours in Statistics or Mathematics (requires marks of 70% or better on the two courses combined, including a single proctored final online exam scheduled at the end of the second course) | Lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category |
| Introduction to Biostatistics (Both Biostatistics 1 and Biostatistics 2 must be satisfactorily completed) |
3.00 Semester Hours in Statistics, Medicine, or Biotechnology requires marks of 70% or better on the two courses combined, including a single online final exam scheduled at the end of the second course) | Upper division baccalaureate degree category |
