Rationale
As members of a field increasingly devoted to the use of data and studies to guide practice, students must learn to correctly interpret statistical presentations to understand when various statistical tools can be appropriately employed, and have a broad grasp of statistical terminology and techniques. This course emphasizes the major applications of statistical knowledge rather than its theory. The course seeks to educate men and women who will make important contributions to their workplaces and communities, follow their chosen vocations as callings to glorify God, and fulfill the Great Commission.
