Introductory Statistics Courses

The information presented below is also included in the online academic calendar.

Many students are required to include a course in statistics as part of their modular requirements.  Please exercise caution when enrolling in these courses as many are listed as “Introductory Statistics” and are anti-requisites to each other. 

Anti-requisite courses cannot necessarily be substituted for each other.

If you have any questions regarding other Introductory Statistics courses not listed here, please contact the Department of Statistical & Actuarial Sciences - stats-inquiry@uwo.ca

Example: students intending to combine a module in Economics and one from the Department of  Statistical & Actuarial Sciences may use Statistical Sciences 2858A/B in place of Economics 2122A/B or Economics 2222A/B

For these students only, Statistical Sciences 2858A/B will be used as the prerequisites for Economics 2123A/B or Economics 2223A/BEconomics 2122A/B or Economics 2222A/B must be replaced with another Economics course at the appropriate level to complete modular requirements.
