I was looking online for a statistics course which would transfer to my University. Does anyone have any suggestions where to take a course?
Many of the online universities I have looked at require you to enroll in their programs and don’t let you take just one course.
You have to ask your academic advisor.
If you are already enrolled at University, then you would have to ask your academic advisor about this in order to make sure you are allowed to do it.
You can, depending on where you live and all, enroll as a transient student at your local area Community College during the summertime or something and take your stats course.
There are also a very fair amount of public Universities which have indy studies courses. Meaning, that you would not have to formally enroll at the University to take the course.
But, once again, if you are already enrolled at University…you have to ask about these things. If you are not already enrolled at University, then just stick to your local area Community College and make sure it has a transfer articulation agreement with the University.
Hi russell,
I have taken the DSST exam Principles of Statistics. Check the catalog of your school which exams they accept for DANTES/DSST or CLEP exams.
It should state somewhere in the degree policies what exams they accept. In my long school career I’ve found school counselors to be extremely non-helpful concerning anything that doesn’t make the school maximum profit. If you talk to a counselor and she/he says no, I would check it anyway.

It is normally quite verboten to ever seek testing to transfer to a University credit when you are already enrolled at University.
There are “challenge exams” that the heads of some academic departments could very well offer. But, not all too many Universities will allow any student to be formally enrolled at University and try to obtain CLEP credit on the side.
OP’s best bet is to just ask and see if they can be declared a “transient” student while University is not in session traditionally (like during the summer) over at a Community College or what have you and go form there. That is an old school rule dating back to the year one.
Hi Russell,
Miami Dade College offers STA2023 and QMB2100 courses and an online QMB2100 lab. The college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
You can take the course as a transient student and transfer it back to your school. I’d check with the advisement dept at your school first though to make sure they’ll accept the credits!
The website for the online program at Miami Dade is [Miami</a> Dade College - Virtual College](<a href=“http://virtual.mdc.edu%5DMiami”>http://virtual.mdc.edu).
Good luck!

The Penn State world campus Statistics program is a pretty good option at a reasonable cost. They have a pretty good selection of classes and I’m sure they are transferrable.
