<p>Hey guys I'm attending a CC this fall as an incoming freshman and I haven't come to a conclusion as to what exactly I'll be majoring in. Most likely accounting, marketing, finance, some form of business. I plan on transferring out after 2 years. I'm basically pursuing an associates in art and I'm a bit perplexed as to what math course or any course in general I should be taking. Some background- During HS I took Alg 1, Alg 2, Geo, Trig, Pre-Calc, and AP Calc-AB. I placed into MATH 105. Since I haven't committed to a major yet, I'm guessing I should just stick to trying to get my general education courses out of the way for my first year, right? So should I avoid courses that are business related and stuff? (Sorry Idk why I'm so confused about this) If I take Math 105 it'll be classified as an elective since it's not a "Gen-ed requirement" for an associate in arts. Math requirements for associates in arts (Must choose one): Mat 102, 121, 124, 141, 181, 201, 202, 203, 224. I was told it'd be best to take Mat 105 for now since Mat 102 is basically useless to me b/c I placed higher. If I take Mat 105, can I end up taking Math 121 after or must I take some other course before? How should I go about picking my math courses? Also, how can I check if my credits/courses will transfer over. Once again, I apologize. I don't know exactly why I'm confused about this when it's probably an easy process. I just don't want to make a mistake and end up not being able to transfer into a school's program because I took some wrong courses. Any help or info is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think you should take at least one business course if you can, to make sure you’re interested in the subject. It would suck to have all your gen eds done after your first year, go into your second year and hate business, and have to scramble to find a new major to take the classes for, so as not to graduate late.</p>
<p>Ask your college advisor if 105 can replace 102 for your gen eds. I had a similar dilemma at my school with bio, and they said it was fine if I just took the higher level course. I can’t help you with the math beyond that, as I have no idea what the numbers stand for. I would try to make sure they’re ones you will need for your major, though, or at least ones that will benefit you in some way.</p>
<p>You can talk to advisors at your target schools and at your CC about course equivalencies; there may even be a chart somewhere online – you’ll have to ask.</p>
<p>It’s far from an easy process at times – don’t apologize! 
As you said, it’s best to make sure you know what you’re doing, so it doesn’t come to hurt you later on.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice! Anyone else wanna chime in on this?</p>
