Recommended Sequence of Courses for former PreMgmt majors:

This sequence assumes that you have received an A or A- in Math 119 to satisfy Math 112 and 113 and that you have taken Stat 221 (or AP Statistics) in Pre-Management core.

SAS Training

Stat 224 focuses on the data step and is sufficient for any SAS-related internship.
Stat 424 is advanced SAS programming and sets our alumni apart from other applicants in entry-level SAS jobs.

SMART Grant

Despite our appeal, the Business Analysis emphasis does not qualify for the SMART grant (see http://saas.byu.edu/depts/finaid/smart.aspx). If you interested in the money, please consider the Quality Science or Statistical Science emphases.

Topics include program changes, career opportunities, undergraduate research group opportunities.
