STA 326 - Statistics   (3 Credits)
   This course is about the information explosion, and the rapid changes in business that have created a need for workers with strong analytical skills who have the ability to make data based decisions. The short supply of knowledge workers makes the teaching of statistical applications in liberal education an absolute necessity. This course must aim to strengthen and broaden the analytical skills of students. In order to expose students to fundamental intellectual skills and general methods of inquiry that apply in a wide variety of settings, this course must teach the skills of thinking about data while working with data.
   Prerequisite: MAT 136 or equivalent.
