B.S. in Applied Statistics, 2021-2022 Catalog

Four Year Degree Worksheet

This degree worksheet is intended to help you develop a balanced course schedule while completing your degree within 4 years. The same sequence of courses (with fewer courses each semester) is also recommended for students completing their degree in 5 or 6 years. This worksheet is not intended to replace academic advising with your assigned advisor. Students should consult with their assigned advisor to determine the appropriate sequence of required courses and electives based on their academic goals.

Please note that your Major Specific Requirements (MSRs) are bolded in the document and are also listed as an "MSR" in the notes column. These courses must be completed in order to declare your major. All students must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher in the STEM MSR suite.

Pre-Applied Statistics first-time freshmen must complete MATH 122 and MATH 123 with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.

CSULB Enrollment Services prepares the Academic Requirements Report, which is the official graduation verification.
