STAT 460 - Undergraduate Off-Campus Statistics Practicum

This course is designed to give students a chance to apply their understanding of Statistics to a real project in an off-campus field setting. In addition to at least 40 hours of field experience per credit hour, students will engage in guided reflection about the experience and its connection to STAT coursework and broader issues of statistical reasoning. Practicum credit is graded Pass/Fail. With a campus presentation and approval of the Statistics Chair, 2 or more credits of STAT 460 may substitute for STAT 497 - Statistics Capstone Experience.

Off-campus sites should be approved by a faculty mentor and the STAT department chair before a student can enroll in STAT 460.

May be repeated for up to 6 credits.

Prerequisites: Completion of at least 12 credits in STAT. Permission of the STAT Department Chair.
Credits: 2-6
