Complete an 1105-1106 foreign language (e.g., FR, GR, SPAN) grouping or the equivalent.
CMDA 2005 Integrated Quantitative Sciences-CMDA 2006 Integrated Quantitative Sciences is equivalent to all the following: STAT 3005 Statistical Methods and STAT 3006 Statistical Methods and STAT 3104 Probability and Distributions and MATH 2214 Introduction to Differential Equations and (MATH 2204 Introduction to Multivariable Calculus or MATH 2204H Introduction to Multivariable Calculus or MATH 2406H Mathematics in a Computational Context
Virginia Tech requires 120 credit hours to graduate with a GPA of 2.0 or greater for all hours attempted. The 120 credit hours must include all required courses for the statistic major as outlined in this check-sheet. In addition, students must have an in-major GPA of 2.0 or greater. For purposes of GPA computation, courses in-major will include core requirements, major requirements, and restricted electives. If 120 credit hours are reached and a student does not meet the GPA requirement, the student must take additional in-major courses to raise the in-major GPA to a 2.0.
