Statistic Requirement Options
Refresher Statistics Options
Some students who have not taken recent statistics courses might choose to take a 5000-level statistics course prior to taking the more advanced courses in the program. Some advisors recommend taking a course in the summer before beginning the PhD program.
Some options for students wishing to take a refresher statistics course include:
EPSY 5261: Introductory Statistical Methods
PUBH 6414: Biostatistical Literacy
(Note, these courses are recommended as a refresher but do not meet the PhD statistics requirement if entering the program fall 2015 or later)
Statistics Requirement
There are two statistics course sequences that fulfill the PhD in Nursing statistics requirement. Students should consult with their advisor when selecting the course sequence as they may have recommendations based upon anticipate research topic. The following considerations may be helpful:
On-line or Face to Face (Some EPSY and PUBH courses are offered online)
Computing Platform (SAS, R, SPSS)
Focus (General, Behavioral, Bio-statistical)
Any requirements within a formal PhD minor that might be needed
Courses that meet the Nursing PhD statistics requirement:
PUBH 6450 and PUBH 6451 (Biostatistics I and II)
EPSY 8251 and EPSY 8252 (Statistical Methods in Education I and II)
