When preparing to apply to the Online MPH program which math courses should I take?

When preparing to apply to the Online MPH program we ask that applicants have completed at least one college level mathematics or statistics course, however this is a little vague. What we'd really like to see is at least an Introductory Calculus or Statistics course. Math courses below the calculus level, but that were taken in college, will not be adequate preparation for the work you will be doing in this program.
