Calc AB or Stats?

<p>I'm a junior right now in CATA (College Algebra and Trigonometry honors, basically one level under Honors Pre-Calc but still an honors course none the less) and am formatting my senior schedule.</p>

<p>I'm 99.9% sure I'm going into Broadcast Journalism, therefore I won't have to take many math classes while in college. I have an A in trig, however I just don't really have a passion for math. </p>

<p>My question is, will I be missing out on the foundation for the few math classes I will take in college by choosing Stats over Calc?</p>

<p>Also, anyone in either class PLEASE weigh in with your experiences.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>You’ll probably be better off taking statistics. It’s more widely used in the sciences and real world for data and data analysis, as opposed to calculus, which is used a lot in engineering and physics. They’re both useful subjects, though.</p>

<p>In my case, math is more of a passion to me, so I took calculus AB and BC before taking stats this year (senior year). In my opinion calculus is more fun. :)</p>
