¹Old course number
The statistics course is NOT a prerequisite course. You can apply to the program even is you do not have a statistics course. Statistics can be completed during the program. The UB School of Nursing offers an online statistic course. A statistics course must be completed with a grade of C or higher before graduation from our RN to BS program. If you have transfer credit it may satisfy this requirement.
