One of the prerequisite requirements for FSMFN admission is an upper level undergraduate or graduate statistics course within the past ten years. The content of this course should include:

Descriptive (Univariate Data): continuous variables, the normal curve, means, standard deviations, categorical variables, measures of central tendency, variability, bivariate associations, odds ratio, standard scores and percentiles, frequency distributions, differences between means

Non-parametric Tests: chi-square

Correlation and Regression: correlation coefficients, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, linear regression

Inferential Statistics: paired t-tests, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficients, analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), discriminate analyses

Other: alpha level, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficients), statistical significance

The above are fairly common content in a graduate or upper level undergraduate statistics and research methods type course. The FSMFN online courses N404: Statistics contain this content. Students who would like to take a statistics course other than the one offered by the FSMFN should contact their Department Chair for approval of the course.
