Thank you for the response. Are there any "expiration date" to prereq courses? As in, is it less competitive to have prereqs that are more than certain number of years old? I know that for some professional schools strongly prefer (or even require) prereq classes that are within 5 years of marticulation, but I haven't been able to find any information on whether or not PhD programs have a such preference. Also, do biostat PhD programs have same prerequisites as statistics PhD?

Thank you for the response. Would online classes be okay for prereqs/upper division courses?

I am considering returning to school to pursue PhD in the near future. However, I did not take any math classes (minus intro to statistics and precalc credit) so I will need to take prereq classes. My question is, how important is getting the prereq classes completed at 4-year university vs. community college? Also are online courses considered negative vs. in-person courses? Thanks!
