About this course

Understanding Principles of Statistics for your Nexford 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 built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students are assessed throughout the course as well as at the end. When the course is completed and the transcript is issued, Nexford recognizes it as STA1300 – Statistics, which is a named course equivalency in its catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The statistical skills in this course help students read data more carefully, compare options, and explain results clearly in business settings. At Nexford, that preparation can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Business Administration, where STA1300 – Statistics fits as an identified course match rather than an unspecified elective.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and Nexford applies the credit as STA1300 – Statistics. Because this is a named course equivalency, it has a specific place in the Nexford degree plan rather than being treated as a general transfer course. That can make it easier to see how the credit supports programs like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of an undergraduate program, and it also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want a clear transfer path into Nexford and prefer to know exactly how the credit will apply, since it is recognized as STA1300 – Statistics. It can suit working adults, students finishing a degree, and people changing direction who want to make steady progress while staying within Nexford’s transfer limits of up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the best fit for someone who needs a course that transfers broadly without a specific course equivalency or who is not planning to use the credit at Nexford.
