<p>I'm an undergraduate freshman so I have some time to figure out my life. I am 100% sure that I will be going to graduate because I plan to major in something liberal arts oriented(sociology, philosophy, or history)</p>
<p>My ultimate career goal is to become a management consultant with a concentration in human capital/leadership & change management. I have always been very interested in organization psychology. I think this sector of management consulting really fits my interests well. This will probably require an MBA.</p>
<p>So my main underlying question: Can I obtain an MBA(human capital concentration) and avoid taking calculus? My biggest assets are my verbal,written, and communication skills. I always excel in English/History classes.</p>
<p>Yea, good luck. I don’t understand how you can be an effective management consultant on organizational efficiency without being able to pass something as simple as Business Calc.</p>
<p>Getting a good enough GRE score to get into a business worth going to will also require the same critical thinking skills that learning Calculus takes.</p>
<p>Instead of quitting before you even try, I’d work extra hard and improve your analytical abilities. The soft skill stuff is easy and common, but without the critical thinking behind it, you’re just another well spoken college kid.</p>
<p>to be effective in the career you wish to pursue, you will need to be good at crunching, analyzing, and understanding numbers. Calculus gives you a framework to analyze data.</p>
<p>Get a really good tutor. Try Khan Academy on line. Just get through it.</p>
<p>You’re 19? You have tons of time to work on math–take the calculus course and get help if you need it. Take statistics. You will need that if you major in sociology or psychology or any social science. You will need that knowledge if you want to pursue a career on management consulting. Right now, concentrate on your studies and maintaining a strong GPA. Try to get internships on your area of interest to see if it really is something that interests you.</p>
