Calc vs Stats

For senior year in HS. Does UF have a preference? Looking to apply for a major that requires Stats but not Calc. Going to a dual enroll.

Does the major at the colleges of interest accept non-calculus-based statistics, or does it require calculus-based statistics?

It’s the same class going from a Florida Community College to UF and they will accept it.

If the major requires non-calculus-based statistics but not calculus and accepts the community college statistics course for it, then statistics will give the student a better head start on the major (unless the student wants to take calculus and calculus-based statistics for a stronger understanding of statistics).

But be sure to check other colleges on the matter, just in case the student is not admitted to UF.
