Currenty an engineering student, thinking about switching to business

College Majors Business Major

<p>Hello everybody. I am a first year student currently enrolled in the School of Engineering at Rutgers University. I just had one question - Will I be able to switch to a business major (Finance/Economics) my second year if Engineering doesn't work out for me? Or am I confined to Engineering? My current courses are the following if it matters:</p>

<p>13 Credits</p>

<p>151 Calculus
123 Analytical Physics
159 General Chemistry for Engineers
171 Intro to Experimentation
127 Intro to Computers for Engineers</p>

<p>I want to finish the year as an Engineering major, and then I may want to switch to business next fall. Is this possible without too much trouble? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>well the Calc, chem and Physics are fine, as they will help you in Business, the others wont.</p>

<p>Nest semester rather than another non fundamental engineering course, try taking economics.</p>

<p>I fail to see how calc will help, when you don't need to know anything beyond grade school level math, in business classes.</p>

<p>VTBOy, there are actually many applications for calculus in Business and even more so in economics.</p>

<p>Many schools will have either there own tailor made Business calculus class, orr make there students take Calc 1 and Calc 2</p>

<p>Agreed. Business majors at my school are required to take Calculus..don't quote me on this, but I think it's called "Calculus for the Managerial Sciences."</p>

<p>the business school at my school requires calc I and calc II in order to graduate. you just don't need calc III (multivariable).</p>

<p>it's possible to transfer to rbs. except i don't know how difficult it will be.</p>

<p>A business degree here requires calc - it's a lower calc than what Engineering/Math/Hard Science majors have to take though.</p>
