Notes:

*MATH 221 is required. If student places into MATH 170 , they should replace STAT 202 /STAT 203 with MATH 221 and then take STAT 202 /STAT 203 fall of Sophomore year instead of a free elective. Students could ALSO take MATH 470 as a W2 and DIV and Application area course instead of a separate DIV and CSC 484 for the W2.
