About this course

Understanding Principles of Statistics for your DSU credit.

What is Principles of Statistics?

Principles of Statistics is an introduction to how people collect, summarize, and interpret data. It covers the basic ideas behind surveys and experiments, how to read graphs and tables, and how to use probability to make sense of uncertainty. Students also learn how to work with common distributions, confidence intervals, and sample sizes.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Statistics is a self-paced online course. You work through the video lessons on your own schedule, complete the quizzes and assignments, and sit for the final exam, which counts for 50% of your grade alongside quizzes (20%) and assignments (30%). Once you finish, the credit goes on your transcript, and Dunlap-Stone University recognizes it as MATH-160 – Intro to Statistics.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course teaches you to collect and summarize data, read graphs and tables, and use probability and Excel to make sense of uncertainty, skills that apply to budgeting, reporting, and market research. At DSU, the credit is recognized for undergraduate degrees, including the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology. In each of those programs it gives you a quantitative foundation you can use in coursework and in work outside the classroom.

Skills you walk away with

Identify data types and choose appropriate statistical methodsSummarize data with measures of center and spreadCreate and interpret graphs for exploratory data analysisWork with probability rules and common distributionsUse normal distribution and z-scoresInterpret confidence intervals and estimate sample sizeAnalyze data in Excel and present results clearly

Taking this course toward DSU

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Dunlap-Stone University, and DSU's registrar applies the credit as MATH-160 – Intro to Statistics. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit maps to a specific course in the DSU catalog, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition and makes it easier to plan around in your degree. Transfer credit from UPI Study courses at DSU is limited to 90 credits (75%) in total, so plan the rest of your degree accordingly.

Who this course is for

This course suits students who want to earn a DSU degree at lower cost, since each credit transferred avoids DSU's $475 per-credit rate, which means $1,425 in tuition for this 3-credit course. Working adults, career changers, and students finishing a degree will find it useful because DSU recognizes it as a named equivalency, MATH-160 – Intro to Statistics, rather than a general elective. Because transfer is capped at 90 credits (75%), you will still need to complete the remaining credits at DSU. It is a weaker fit for students whose degree plan calls for a different statistics course, since this credit maps only to MATH-160.
