What Wisconsin says is “Courses that will not fulfill this requirement include statistics.” When my kid was applying, he was an intended humanities major who wanted to jump off the math train and went back and forth about what math to take senior year.

For him, the choice was between Calc and Stats so he took Calc bc of that language on the website. So I remembered it as needed Calc (but I was wrong). Sorry to worry anyone!

Wisconsin changed their language last year! They used to flat out say that they expected calc if offered. You remembered correctly.

Nope.
The old page (through 2023) said "We would highly recommend taking math your senior year and advancing through pre-calculus or calculus, if available"

The recent change was to drop the encouragement for even precalculus.

Expected = highly encouraged if available. Potato, poTAHto. 🙄

Oh, I just assumed that they meant what they wrote, and not that they got the grammar wrong. But maybe you're right, and they don't know how to use commas.
