Continuing Education Credits
Statistics.com offers continuing education units (CEU's) for those successfully completing courses, which means obtaining marks of 50% or more on the course homework. You will be asked to declare that you are seeking CEU's at the beginning of the course. (Note: colleges may or may not accept CEU's; see the next section for statistics.com's program for college credit.)
College 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 recommending service. ACE is the major coordinating body for U.S. higher education institutions.
ACE has reviewed four statistics.com courses and approved them for credit recommendations, as follows:
| 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 a C or better) | Lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category |
| Introduction to Biostatistics | 3.00 Semester Hours in Statistics, Medicine, or Biotechnology (requires a C or better) | Upper division baccalaureate degree category |
| Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling | 2.00 Semester Hours in Statistics, Educational Research, or Social Sciences (requires a B or better) | Graduate degree category |
| Advanced Structural Equation Modeling | 1.00 Semester Hour in Statistics, Educational Research, Psychology, or Sociology (requires a B or better) | Graduate degree category |
