<p>a lot of people ask this same question and i notice a plethora of replies. so what is it, is econ the MOST math intensive? what is the least? its not so much that i do not LIKE math, it is just that i am not so strong in it. i want to succeed, and maintain a high GPA, therefore im looking for something with a little less mathematics.</p>
<p>thank you.</p>
<p>economics technically is not considered business, so it wouldn't be the most intensive business major (and is if you includes economics as business).</p>
<p>The most intensive business major would then be in this order:
1.Operational Research
2.Information System
3.Finance
4.Marketing, Accounting
5.Management</p>
<p>You don't have to LIKE math or be particularly good at it. Just be competent at it and comfortable with numbers, since business is a very number-driven world.</p>
<p>if you really hate math do advertising or something.</p>
<p>but yeah, numbers are going to show up everywhere, you'll be using and working with numbers in all forms of business for the most part.</p>
<p>marketing was perfect until i realized my "inability" to public speak. i am terrible with it, i get nervous as anything.</p>
<p>anyhow...</p>
<p>i realize econ. isnt exactly a business major, but it IS math intensive?? i dont think i can be accepted into the business school because i am a transfer, other than econ what is a good liberal arts degree to get, in order to work in the field of business upon graduation?</p>
<p>yes but you don't use numbers the same way as lets say you do in engineering or the sciences.</p>
<p>Business 75% quantitative
Engineering 100% quantitative</p>
<p>Did you know many of the theorms, advances in economics, came not from economist but statiticians and mathematicians.</p>
<p>so....what is the deal? marketing is the least math intensive? whats a good liberal arts program to get into (i cant transfer into the business section at my school) so that i may get into business later in lifel.</p>
<p>yeah marketing will be the least math intensive, or even something like advertising would be considerably less math intensive.</p>
<p>Sorry,but accounting is MUCH more intensive than both marketing and finance. Most people who attends a good business school will attest to this.</p>
<p>well considering all of these majors are in the business school (that i cant be admitted to as a transfer) what is a good liberal arts major to get a degree in...i was thinking BA in ECON but someone said that is VERYY math intensive. i thought the BA would be less than the BS.</p>
<p>you know you need to figure out what kinds of jobs people get from your school, especially the ones who got jobs in marketing/whatever positions you're interested in and figure out what they majored in.</p>
<p>this is very easy if you have access to facebook, you can do a search for alumni in whatever career you like and see what they majored in.</p>
<p>i have access to facebook, but not for THAT particular school yet. im still at my jr college, till january</p>
<p>im thinking if i end up at a school like Bates or Bowdoin, I could somehow combine courses in sociology, economics, rhetoric, and/or english. This would be great for a foundation in marketing. A lot of schools will let you design your own major as it long as it has merit.</p>
<p>i might be going to st joes as a finance major. was considering marketing but like i said, i am HORRIBLE at public speaking. and its not that i sound bad, or non-articulate, its just my nerves will start up, even a week before a presentation. </p>
<p>kind of odd, as i am not that shy of a person</p>
