At The College of Saint Rose we have a 'Statistics' course in the math
department and an 'Experimental Statistical Methods' course in the
Psychology Department. This area was historically covered by the math
department, but it became obvious that there would be some advantages to our
majors to have one offered by psychology faculty. From what I understand
there was a bit of a turf war over the issue (before I arrived here last
year), but now we strongly recommend all our majors to take the course
offered in our department. Non-majors, minors, and education majors
concentrating in psychology may do as they please.
