<p>Do I need to take Calculus 2 to pursue a major in either of these? I know I need to take Calculus 1 but I am not sure if I need Calculus 2 as well. Thanks! </p>
<p>Finance or Accounting Majors (possible the 5 year masters programs)</p>
<p>Requirements for Accounting <a href=“http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=36&poid=275&returnto=724”>http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=36&poid=275&returnto=724</a></p>
<p>Requirements for Finance <a href=“http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=37&poid=663&returnto=822”>http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=37&poid=663&returnto=822</a></p>
<p>It does not appear to be required for Finance <a href=“http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=41&poid=3329&returnto=1533”>http://catalog.tulane.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=41&poid=3329&returnto=1533</a> or Accounting. I am not 100% sure, but it looks like what Tulane offers is that you get the BSM degree in finance or something else other than accounting, and then you get the masters in accounting in that 5th year. Let me know if you find something different. Either way, Calc 2 does not appear on any list. As you say, Calc 1 is required. So is a business stats course.</p>
<p>I’ve been looking online and I have not found any list that states that Calculus 2 is required for either. Thanks!! </p>
<p>@Blueberr - But is it also your understanding that you can’t get a bachelors in accounting at Tulane, but that they only offer the masters?</p>
<p>Please ignore my links above. Apparently they take you to the course catalog from 2010 so they are probably outdated! </p>
<p>I’m not sure; however, I want to get a masters in either or so that’s the plan! Thanks! </p>
<p>@dolphnlvr6 - I almost fell into that same trap. Not sure why that link takes you to the archived catalog. But at a glance it didn’t look like they had changed much, if at all.</p>
<p>My D is a senior in the 5 year asters of acct program with a major in Finance, She only had to take one semester if calculus.</p>
<p>My son just completed his freshman year in the business program. I believe that you need to take math 1210 (calculus) and math 1140 (business stats) or math 1150 (first half of long calculus) and math 1140 (business stats). If you take math 1150, you do not have to take math 1160 (the second half of long calc) since you will be taking math 1140 (stats) So, if you are not really a math student, this is the way to go. Please double check, but I am pretty sure that this is correct. </p>
<p>Thanks to all! I am hoping to get AP credits for Calculus 1, but if I need to take it then hopefully it will not be too bad. </p>
<p>If you already did AP Calc, Calc 1 should be a breeze. I took calc in high school (was no AP then at my high school but was the equivalent), didn’t do so great (distracted by a female, a story as old as time), so took Calc 1 at Tulane thinking I really didn’t know any calculus. I showed up the first day of class ready to take notes, listened for about 15 minutes and put away my notepad for the rest of the semester. Not only did I know a lot more than I thought I did, it allowed me to really listen to what the prof was saying. I actually learned calculus and that set me up for both understanding math at a much deeper level and for being able to remember calculus for years after, even to the point that I was able to tutor adult learners 15 years later. I suspect that if you take it again you will have a similar experience, although I am not advocating not taking notes. Worked for me, might not for you. And I only did it in that class and Calc II.</p>
