Statistics (Even-Numbered Year): Recommended Three-Year Path

Notes:

  • This plan requires the student to matriculate with AP or other transfer credit for Butler’s MA 106 Calculus 1 and MA 107 Calculus 2.
  • Plan for starting in even-numbered fall semester
  • If multiple Core Curriculum requirements (e.g., GHS, ICR) are satisfied via a single course, care must be taken to ensure that 120 credit hours are earned prior to commencement, of which ≥ 40 credit hours are ≥ 300-level courses.
  • Students who place into 100-level foreign language will need to use some of the non-300-level electives to complete the foreign language requirement.
