Statway

Pierce is participating in “Statway,” an exciting new math program for students who are liberal arts, humanities, and social science majors. In our current math sequence, beginning algebra students need three semesters to complete their math requirement. In Statway, you can do it two consecutive semesters!

In Statway, you will learn how statistics applies to your life. Faculty, tutors, and advisors will work together to help you succeed.  Statway is right for you if all of the following are true: 

• You plan to transfer to a CSU

• You ARE a social science, humanities, liberal arts, or related major. 

• You are NOT a science, technology, engineering, math, or business major. 

• You are eligible for Math 115. 

• You have good reading skills and are eligible for English 101 or above.

Statway students engage in classroom activities that introduce statistical concepts and skills.  Students learn the required mathematical ideas and skills in the context of learning statistics.  Read some background facts about Statway and view a slideshow about Statway at Pierce. Or watch a "Go Statway" video.

This class has a strong reading component.  Click here for a sample reading from one of the Statway lessons.

Our second cohort of students will enroll in one of our Fall 2012 sections.
