University Studies requires a student to obtain proficiency through the 201-level (equivalent to foreign language 211 at NCCCs) in a language previously studied or the 102-level (equivalent to foreign language 112 at NCCCs) in a second foreign language not previously studied. Students will demonstrate proficiency by completing a course at the 201 level or higher in a language previously studied or at the 102-level in a second foreign language. If you graduated high school 7 or more years before you enrolled at UNCW, an exception applies to you. Then you only need to complete a language course at the 102 level (or higher)
Students are encouraged to build the North Carolina Community College (NCCC) course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended university and major.

The Bachelor of Science degree in statistics provides a variety of options for students wishing to study statistics. The program prepares graduates for careers as applied statisticians in government, business, and industry.
Those students interested in further study beyond the bachelor’s level may take coursework giving them the theoretical depth required to pursue graduate degrees. In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of statistics, coursework in other disciplines such as biology, computing, data science, economics, environmental studies, or social sciences can be undertaken, depending on the student’s interests.
Since statistical practice routinely involves computers, most courses incorporate standard statistical software.
Additional Information:
An overall average of “C” 2.00 or better is required for all 300-400-level statistics courses counted toward the major.
Accompanying majors, minors, and certifications to consider: actuarial science, biology, coastal engineering, chemistry, computer science, data science, economics, environmental science, geology, mathematics, marine biology, public health, physics, and psychology.
