The Advanced Placement Program offers a course description and examination in statistics to students who wish to complete studies in secondary school equivalent to one-semester in, introductory, non calculus-based, college course in statistics. In colleges and universities, the number of students who take a statistics course is almost as large as the number of students who take a calculus course. At least one statistics course is typically required for majors such as engineering, psychology, sociology, health science, and business. Every semester about 20,000 students take their first statistics course from the mathematics or statistics department at their college or university. The vast majority of these students take a non-calculus based introductory course from other departments who teach their own statistics course. AP Statistics will be effective preparation for Science, engineering, business, and mathematics majors who usually take an upper division calculus-based course in statistics. This course meets the UC/CSU "C" or "G" requirement.
