Is calculus required for every business degree?

<p>I'm about to transfer to a 4 year from a jc. Calculus is a requirement (or strongly recommended) to transfer to many of my schools. </p>

<p>One problem, I'm taking it right now and I'm really struggling. I may end up dropping it in the coming weeks. It's my first attempt at calc and things are not going as planned. </p>

<p>Is calc required for all business majors? I've applied for accounting or economics depending on the school.</p>

<p>For accounting, it depends on the school. For economics, once you reach intermediate, you are required to know calculus I.</p>

<p>Not all schools require Calculus (I don’t see how it applies for business majors) however certain schools such as UT Austin require Calc I & II regardless of whether you major in marketing or finance.</p>

<p>My school, the University of Houston, requires finite math and business calculus to fulfill the math component of my business core.</p>

<p>I have to take a class called “Quantitative Business Tools” I and II. Its supposedly some sort of calculus/stats hybrid for business majors, but recently they changed the pre reqs from pre calc to just algebra, so I can’t imagine it’ll be too calculus-intensive</p>

<p>At Boston College, the only math requirements are Calc I and Stats. Unless you get into forecasting, business is not all that math intensive.</p>

<p>Calculus 1 or Bus Calculus? I’m in Bus Calculus and I can tell you it’s a joke compared to the material I’ve seen in Calculus 1.</p>

<p>I know in florida business calc is what’s required.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t require any calc classes for business majors, but we do have to take two stats courses.</p>

<p>I am an accounting major in Florida, and as one of the previous poster’s stated, business calculus is required. </p>

<p>I am actually taking it right now. I am currently an A student in that class (with about a month to go in the semester). It’s not hard, and it is only one class. I know my pre-med and engineer friends have to take three classes of calculus.</p>
