<p>For a student considering a double major in economics and a life/physical sciences major, if the Econ major specifies Statistics 11 and the science major specifies Statistics 12/13, since both cannot be taken for credit, would UCLA allow a student to select only one to satisfy both majors, or would both need to be taken even if credit is only granted for one? </p>
<p>I assume an adviser would approve either to satisfy both majors, but I'm curious if anyone had a similar situation and how was it handled? If you have not had this exact situation, any guesses based on similar experiences?</p>
<p>I don’t think there is a Stats 11. (There is a Stats 10 though. And I believe in most cases life science majors can take either 10 or 13 and it will count. Since 13 is specifically designed for life science majors however, it might not be accepted for other majors (such as psych/poli sci but I am not 100% on this. Anyhow, Stats 10 seems to offer a little more flexibility)). </p>
<p>According to this, Stats is not a pre-req course for a BA in Econ: [UCLA</a> Economics](<a href=“http://www.econ.ucla.edu/undergraduate/majors/econ.cfm]UCLA”>http://www.econ.ucla.edu/undergraduate/majors/econ.cfm)</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that, UC-Dreams. </p>
<p>Econ 41 is roughly the same as Stats 11 (Statistics for Business and Economics) and seems to roughly duplicate the Statistics for Life Sciences class. </p>
<p>So still wondering if this class would pass for the statistics requirement for both the Econ Major and where Stats is required for Science majors? (or alternately if Stats 13 would pass for Stats 11/Econ 41).</p>
<p>Ah I see. I think it would be best to go to the specific departments and ask (or shoot them an e-mail). After a quick search it seems that most of the life science majors do not have statistics as a requirement (3A/31A, 3B/31B, 3C/32A are needed instead), except for any major in the EEB department, human bio and society, or neuroscience. My gut feeling says Stats 13 wouldn’t replace Econ 41 and vice versa, but check with a counselor from the department to be sure.</p>
<p>Good idea to check with the specific departments – at least if both versions of Stats are required, the second one taken should be much easier.</p>
