**Because a specific statistics software program is taught and used at SAU, it is recommended that students take Statistics at Spring Arbor University rather than transferring it from another college.  JCC's MTH 131 or higher or 2 years of high school algebra is the prerequisite for Statistics.

NOTE:  A minimum of 124 hours is required for completion of the degree.  A maximum of 68 credit hours from JCC may be transferred to meet the requirements for the degree at SAU.
