Guidelines for Mathematical Science Courses
Human Development and Family Science majors:
All students in the Human Development and Family Science major must take STAT 269, which is usually taken
in the fall of the second year. Students who have a weak background in algebra should consider taking MATH
101 or MATH 102 in their first year in preparation for STAT 269.
Family and Consumer Sciences Education Majors:
All students in this major must take two mathematical science courses: CIS 171 (Problem Solving with Computers)
and STAT 269 (Introductory Statistics) by the conclusion of the sophomore year.
Students with Advanced Placement credit:
Requirements for courses in mathematical science can be met through Advanced Placement exam credit. Students
who have taken AP exams in calculus, computer science, or statistics should go to the math department’s website
(www.messiah.edu/departments/mathsci/courses/ap_credit.html) to find out how credit is awarded for your scores.
