Business calculus or Cal I?

[reverese1134]

<p>I completed intermediate algebra and stat, and I need to take either business calculus or precalculus next semester. precalculus is a prerequisite course for cal1. I was going to take business calculus but I heard that it is not transferrable course in many schools. But if I take precalculus, I will not be able to transfer next fall. What would you do if if you were in my shoes?</p>

<p>Depends on your school. Generally, most schools prefer Calculus I over Business Calculus. For example NYU states:

*The calculus course must be the equivalent of Calculus I as offered by your school’s mathematics department; courses such as business calculus, elementary calculus, and calculus for social sciences typically do not satisfy the calculus requirement for Stern transfers.
