Stastics for health sciences VS statistics

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone!

I have an AA degree that will transfer bc of an Illinois articulation agreement with the colleges here. However, I never took college algebra, just a pre algebra class.

I'm now starting at a community college to do science pre reqs but cannot enroll in Traditional Statistics bc I don't have college algebra, but I can enroll in Statistics for the Health Sciences without it.

So I'm wondering what the difference is. Both transfer to my school of choice as a pre req for the nursing program.

At age 27, you'll be one of the young 'uns in the class :-)

The primary difference is likely to be the kinds of examples that are provided... the underlying statistical tools and concepts are the same irrespective of the field.

Do be careful, though, because some programs are very specific and will only accept certain classes.
