Colleges have long had what I call kiddie stats. The prerequisite is a warm body willing to take on a mountain of debt with a probability significantly lower than 1 to repay that debt. Stats at the college level needs to be calculus based. Colleges should be aiming high. It’s not called lower learning for a reason.
