Last Updated: 11/17/2025 | All information is accurate and still up-to-date
A traditional classroom allows you to meet face-to-face with your professor and classmates. You will have the opportunity to take advantage of
the facilities in Fitts-Woolard Hall, like the CAMAL research lab. It also puts you in the heart of Raleigh and Research Triangle Park (RTP), and all
of the incredible tech companies in the area.
There are reasons why on-campus learning has remained the traditional classroom experience. It allows you to quickly build community,
participate in campus activities and maintain a structured schedule.

Statistics Requirements
The following courses are offered by the Statistics Department as options for the MEM program:
- ST 513 Statistics for Management I

Among these courses, ST 516 and ST 517 have prerequisites. Often, ST 516’s prerequisite of ST 515 is waived, especially for students who have taken an undergraduate probability and statistics course. As for ST 517, the only prerequisite is the undergraduate MA 241 Calculus II or its equivalent. The other courses simply require graduate standing.
