Should I Take STAT 2507 in First Year?

Summary: Taking STAT 2507 in your first year can help ease the workload of your second year, due to the large number of required 2000 level courses.

Updated: June 20, 2025

Taking STAT 2507 in your first year can help reduce your second-year workload, which could include as many as seven required 2000-level courses for Computer Science students. [1]

The course also covers concepts that overlap with COMP 2804 (Discrete Structures II), so taking STAT 2507 beforehand can make COMP 2804 slightly easier.

Alternatively, since STAT 2507 isn’t a prerequisite for any other required COMP courses, you can also choose to delay it until third year if you prefer a lighter first-year schedule.
