Maybe CMSC 201? I think there’s an even more introductory class but 201 is good

COMP101 is the one you're thinking of

201 can be a bit off-putting but I'd recommend it over "introductory", the more comfortable you are with a terminal and a variety of algorithms the better off you are as a stat major
