What is an ONLINE Class that UMPI doesn't offer that you wish they did?

For individuals who need Stats, ALEKS offers Intro to Stats, Business Stats, Stats for Behavioral Sciences (though, you can only take one due to considerable overlap). I believe that what I took at Strayer was a slimmed down version of Business Stats.

UMPI could use ALEKS to offer a Stats I course with little/no additional effort from their teachers and staff. This would free up resources for a Stats II curriculum to be devised and implemented directly by UMPI itself.
Ok, I see. I obviously did not know this. It sounds like a good idea. UMPIs courses can be a bit confusing. They actually have 3 different LL statistics courses. MAT 101 Basic statistics,  MAT 201 Probability & statistics  and MAT 202 Probability & statistics.
I suppose MAT 101 is a watered down version of 201, as it does not require college algebra. The version I took at Sophia was quite good, and explained the concepts well. But there was little formal math in the course overall. The Intro to stats from Sophia transfers in as MAT 101. You were thinking, if I understand you correctly,  that ALEKS could develop and offer MAT 201, while UMPI could offer MAT 202. It sounds plausible that ALEKS is offering, more or less, the same Intro to stats course in different versions. Sophia, Study and SL are also offering their version of the same basic course. 
I am pretty sure there is a market for any course that goes beyond stats 101. Statistics is used in a bunch of areas in the natural and social sciences, and is more or less the cornerstone subject in data science. It is simply a mystery to me why so few are offering the subject online.
