ECN 204 Introduction to Business Statistics (AM)
This course covers basic concepts of statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, probability and expected value, sampling, and estimation. It aims at applying statistical methods in business contexts to address business related questions and make evidence-based decisions using inferential statistics that are based on well-reasoned statistical arguments. Course requires a minimum grade of C- (for General Education/Major/Minor/Certification). 3 Cr. (Every Semester.) [Prerequisite: MTH 111 or higher.]

SWO 210 Applied Statistics for Social Work Practice (BM)
Open only to majors and intent-to-major, this class provides a basic introduction to the conceptual and quantitative tools used to describe and interpret data in the conduct of social work practice and research. Students learn how to select, calculate, and interpret appropriate statistical methods applicable to common data analysis situations related to direct practice, administration and planning, and policymaking, including descriptive data analyses, nonparametric tests, and inferential statistical analyses. Meets SUNY M General Education Requirement. NYSED requires a minimum course grade of “C” (undergraduate sections) for certification. 3 Cr. (Spring.)

MTH 221 Calculus for Business, Social and Life Sciences I (AM)
Closed to students who have completed MTH 201 with a grade of "C" or better. Provides an introduction to calculus, with an emphasis on its applications to business and the behavioral sciences. Covers derivatives of functions of one and several variables, applied maximization and minimization problems, exponential growth and decay models, the natural logarithm function, and an introduction to integration. 3 Cr. (Every Semester.) [Prerequisite: MTH 111, 121 or higher .]

MTH 243 Elementary Statistics (AM)
Closed to students who have received academic credit for ECN 204, MTH 244, PSH 202, SOC 200, or transfer credit for an elementary statistics course at another institution. Covers the use and limitations of various statistical concepts, including frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and of variation, use of normal curve and t-tables, sampling, estimation, tests of significance for means, and correlation. 3 Cr. (Every Semester.) [Prerequisites: MTH 110 or higher .]
