Statistics - The MNLM Faculty requires all entering students to demonstrate proficiency in relevant statistical methods. The statistics prerequisite can be satisfied in one of two ways: Completion of a college-level statistics course with a grade of “B” or better taken within three years of matriculation in the MNLM program OR PPD 504-Essential Statistics for Public Management. If students have not completed a college-level statistics course with a grade of “B” or better within three years of matriculation in the MNLM program, they will need to enroll in PPD 504 and receive a grade of “B” or better. Please note this is an enrollment requirement and not an application requirement. Many admitted applicants will complete the prerequisites in the summer before starting the MNLM.
