<p>I'm just curious, what business majors tend to be less math oriented. I'm good, not great at math (640 SAT I) and considering business so I'm just curious.</p>
<p>If you’re not doing a math-intensive business major, I wouldn’t even bother with getting a business degree. However, to answer your question, anything besides Finance, Accounting, and Supply Chain/Information Systems stuff will be absolutely devoid in math, but the problem is those are all worthless degrees.</p>
<p>Any type of math you will come across in accounting is so basic that if you cant handle that, you cant handle life itself. If you got a 640 on math SAT, you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide. thats all accounting requires.</p>
<p>^this too. Just bite the bullet and study your arse off for calc 1 & 2 + stat and you’ll be OK. Most business majors take watered down calc and whatnot anyway, so just do it. Quant skills are becoming more and more important everywhere, so just suck it up and do it. You won’t be doing that much as a business major anyway. If you can do basic algebra/possess even a modicum of ability in terms of manipulating equations, you’ll do well in in finance as well typically.</p>

<p>Accounting also requires a lot of percentages.</p>
<p>business adminstration, marketing</p>
<p>As long as you can DO math without becoming totally lost and hopeless you should be okay with everything except Risk Management for Finance and Actuarial Sciences.</p>
<p>i want to major in business administration and my percentages and statistics arent bad but when i becomes hard i get lost in math…im in my first few month of IB and im doing math sl but im doing badly in it so i want to shift to math studies which does involve pre calc and descriptive calc so will i be fine?
and also do unis like NYU,UT AUSTIN , GWU etc prefer math sl or can we do studies?</p>
<p>You don’t need a ton of math for a business major, but if you ever intend to get an MBA, math skills will be important since you will need to take the GMAT to get in. Calc 1 and statistics should be the courses you aim for, at the minimum (although the minimum is truly all that you need). Take calculus before statistics because it gives it greater meaning. The point of taking math courses is so that you can prove that you can think quantitatively and understand the data that will be presented to you, in any field of business.
That said, if you’re truly opposed to math then you would want to aim for marketing or management. Those have the worst business prospects of the bunch and you’re better off with a major in finance, accounting, risk management, or supply chain management. Human resource management I’m not too sure about overall.
