My son has a passion for Forestry. Most 4year schools require College Algebra but he flunked College Algebra 3 times. We are looking for options.
What colleges accept Statistics in place of College Algebra?

im not sure what colleges accept statistics over algebra.
forestry sounds like a brilliant career field to get into. applying algebra and textbook algebra are of course two different things as well as for statistics, but i would really recommend taking a step back, slowing down, and figuring a path to perfecting those subjects. having a strong foundation could significantly increase their career ceiling.
also im a little surprised that one could be proficient in stats without a demonstrated proficiency in algebra. stats is generally regarded as far more difficult. something is up. it might be worth taking algebra at a different school (online is probably easiest).
additionally, as a student that moved around and had to attend 13 different schools, the transferability varies greatly. i had to take multiple courses multiple times because of it. some schools would accept CLEP (exam tests for course credits) and others wouldnt.
There's no way college stats is harder than college algebra
really? wow, im genuinely surprised. i found stats to be far more challenging than college algebra, even calc i, but maybe it was the stats prof i had.
Same, but also it could have been my professor
