<p>I’ll be fulfilling the Econ major to get a B.S. and also minoring in an intensive 6 credit per semester language. This is what the website says.</p>

<p>"2. All students must complete, either via AP or course work, one course in Calculus. A second Math course must be taken at BC and be chosen from among a “bucket” that includes Math for Management, Calculus II, Multivariate Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Econometric Methods. All CSOM students must take at least one math course at BC.</p>

<li><pre><code> A student pursuing a minor in Arts and Sciences may elect to eliminate one of the CSOM core management courses, if this is necessary to complete the minor. Selection of the eliminated course must be done with advising from the Associate Dean’s office. No one may eliminate Portico, Financial Accounting or Statistics.

<li><pre><code> A student pursuing a major in Arts and Sciences may elect to eliminate two of the CSOM core management courses, if this is necessary to complete the major. Selection of the eliminated courses must be done with advising from the Associate Dean’s office. No one may eliminate Portico, Financial Accounting or Statistics."

<p>So will I be able to knock off three CSOM core requirements, and what is the maximum amount of cores you can eliminate? Also, for the second math requirement it states that you would choose from a “bucket” does that mean instead of math for management science you can take a different math?</p>

<p>I want to take as many liberal arts classes and as little business classes, yet still being able to graduate from the business school.</p>

<p>Trojaneagle, given your desire to minimize business classes, maybe you should consider transferring to A&S, where your heart seems to be? As an incoming freshman, you can take up to 8 CSOM classes, giving you a chance to cherry-pick the classes that best suit your needs.</p>
