How to become a business major Vol. 1

[davidisgodly]

How Business Majors come to be:

I'm not good in science....
I'm not good in math....
I'm not good in art....

I know! Business major! Success!

[deveroesshopper]

im changing my major from business my upcoming soph. year because im not good in math....just never was

 

[curiousgeorg3]

na, sociology and psycho majors fit your description better

I'm a senior accounting major at a good business program with mediocre math skills and so far accounting has not been a challenge. If you can use a4-function calculator, you can do survive in accounting. I have found that accounting requires much more logic than anything else. Now finance on the otherhand, be prepared for a lot of statistics and calculus.
There are other business majors, such as management and possible marketing, that require less math skills so you should have some options for majors, even ifthe accounting and finance prerequisites give you some trouble.

Don't worry about the art and science, I don't really see either of those subjects coming into play.

I think you might of missed the OP's point. He was poking fun at the idea that people become business majors because the major doesn'trequire science, art, or math skills.

Business school is where people go when they can't cut it as an engineer

Or Sports Management.

 

[nbirn2103]

Managerial has a lot of math and imagine you will be having business calc classes as well.

But the level of difficult on the math end is pretty easily managed. Except if you have to take an Econometrics course.

Good luck!

^ you at Oregon?

SPM at some schools isn't very well developed yet, the curriculum sometimes includes a lot of electives, outside concentration and internship/practicum.the best schools have it going on.

 

[in the line for viis]

I always say that "Business" is for the people who don't really know what they want. At least pick something in business like finance, marketing,management, supply chain, etc.

And to preempt any econ pot shots, Intermediate econ is pretty difficult and econometrics is ridiculous.
