If I'm gonna do biz fundamentals

<p>Do I have to internally transfer into McCombs? and if I don't am I still required to take Calc 1 and 2 for an econ major?</p>

<p>If you want to complete the Business Foundations program, then no, you do not have to transfer into McCombs. (This is what you are referring to, yes?) Business Foundations is a pretty useless certificate, so do keep that in mind. </p>

<p>As an economics major, you will have to take the KLM 3 semester sequence of Calculus or the CD two semester sequence. That’s the minimum. I would recommend taking diff-EQ and perhaps some linear algebra. </p>

<p>[UT</a> College of Liberal Arts](<a href=“Economics | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin”>Economics | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin)</p>

<p>Your advisor will tell you this, too, but you’re going to need multivariate calculus for your second year econ classes, so if you just take two semesters of calc, make sure you take C and D, not just K and L. (Microeconomic Theory is a semester of multivariate calculus problem sets; I think it is the weeder class for econ majors.)</p>

<p>

<p>UT has a strong economics program.</p>

<p>So would doing calc at a CC be a bad idea since it probably isn’t up to par with Texas calc? And would I be at a disadvantage in doing so? Also, are all those classes that you listed (I have no idea what that notation means) after Calc 1 and 2??</p>

<p>^ Yes, I would have to say so. If you are not a strong math person consider something other then Economics. Keep in mind that many Economics majors double major in math as well since it is math intensive.</p>

<p>As for the Business Foundation course, don’t waste your time, it is worthless.</p>

<p>if its worthless theirs no need 4 it</p>

<p>There are two ways to take calculus through multivariate calculus at UT.
One is the traditional route: three semesters of college calculus.
UT calls this Mathematics 408K, 408L, and 408M</p>

<p>The second is a condensed route that squeezes three semesters of information into two semesters, freeing up more of your time: Mathematics 408C and 408D.</p>

<p>I don’t see any harm in using AP credit for 408K and L or taking 408K and 408L at a community college as long as you take 408M (or 408D) at UT and do well in it.</p>

<p>I am good at math, although I really haven’t been in a challenging math class since sophomore year (my schools math track is worthless)…and how am I supposed to finished Math 408KLM if I havent even done Calc 1 and 2, or is 408 K and L Calc 1 and 2?</p>

<p>lol dude… just don’t do bfp</p>

<p>I wont do business foundations (idk what the p in the acronym you posted is), clearly it is useless lol…but I still need to know about the econ stuff</p>

<p>KLM/CD is Calc 1 and 2. </p>

<p>Just make sure you have taken pre-calculus. </p>

<p>And I would advise you to take calculus at a CC, no harm there.</p>

<p>408K and 408L are what would be called first semester calc and second semester calc at any other college. 408M is what would be called multivariable calc or multivariate calc or third semester calc at other colleges.</p>

<p>Okay so lets say I did Calc 1 and 2 this summer at a community college and then 408M my freshman year would that work? or do calc 1 this summer and 408L and M my freshman year…and would they be really hard since i didn’t do 408k at UT</p>

<p>Okay so the lady said I only have to do 408K and L because M is now incorporated into higher econ classes, so would doing Calc 1 to finish 408K and then taking 408M at UT be a good idea or should I do them both this summer</p>

<p>I think it is good to take first and second semester calculus from the same place if you can. (If nothing else, that should save you on having to buy a second calc textbook.)</p>

<p>ya it just sucks cause I want to do an earlier orientation but idk if I can miss that much calc</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>jkaplan–Does the CC you are going to attend offer Calc online? This might be an option for you if they do since you will have internet access during orientation and could download and view the lectures, etc. from UT during orientation. You do have down time during orientation so that should not be a huge factor. My son had a friend do this last summer and it worked out fine for him. Keep in mind, too, that you only need to pass the class with a ‘70’ to receive transfer credit at UT.</p>

<p>Ya I think they do but i’m not sure, I’ll check…also does Calc 1 satisfy 408K and Calc 2 408L?</p>

<p>Yeah, JKaplan. Cal 1 for K and Cal 2 for L. If you do end up majoring in Econ at UT, you don’t have to bother with the bf certificate. A minor in Business Admin. is available to only Econ majors. If you look under the website, it’s called the Business Economics Option and I believe a student can take 5 classes that are actually in McCombs. Also, if you do well, I would go for the Eco/MPA route. It’s also under the website, but it’s a B.A. in Econ and Master in Accounting. You complete half of the graduate work your senior year and you don’t have to worry about a GMAT score or anything. I just got accepted into the Econ Dept. for next fall, so I’ll be doing the BE Option for sure.</p>
