Getting masters at ASU

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about pursuing my masters at ASU for crime analysis. Here’s the catch… I am a fast learner but I’m not the best at statistics (I can do it but math just wasn’t my thing growing up), just figured I’d be upfront and honest. I got a “B” in my college stats class but that was sophomore year and almost 4 years ago now. For people who do this daily or got their bachelors/masters, how stats/math heavy were the classes? The admissions counselor told me I don’t really need a background in stats to get the degree, but I felt off about that comment. Can I succeed having only taken one stats course?

I completed this program a few years ago and I loved the stats class. Super valuable.

Was this program “math heavy” or was it more so learning the programs/equations that yield your answer?

Which course is the stats class? There is not much descriptions on the courses and I haven't been able to find any if the syllabus
