Less Math Oriented Business Schools?

College Majors Business Major

<p>I am not the greatest at math and don't want to go somewhere that I won't be able to handle. Entrenpreneurship & international business are the majors that interest me most for undergraduate. My question si, which schools are less directed at math? I was thinking that Northeastern might be a good bet. Where else?</p>

<p>Why dont you just choose a major that is less oriented in math? Many business schools offer the basic majors-</p>

<p>Finance
Accounting
International Business
MIS
Marketing</p>

<p>Marketing would have the least amount of math. So just go to whatever b-school has the best fit and then pick the major with the least amount of math.</p>

<p>"Marketing would have the least amount of math."</p>

<p>Marketing actually involves a lot of math (forecasting, pricing, market research analysis, etc.).</p>

<p>Even if you find a school that matches your criteria, you really do need to get comfortable with numbers for future jobs. Business functions do not operate in a vacuum--no matter what you do, you still need to understand the basics (such as how to read a financial statement).</p>

<p>a place that is more involved in the communications side of business.. sumthing like a georgetown perhaps?</p>

<p>Many business programs teach sections of calculus and statistics that are less rigorous, and focus on applications specific to business. </p>

<p>There are numerous business programs that require no calculus at all (but usually require statistics and College Algebra). Keep in mind, however, that this track is not advisable if you plan for Master's level study or beyond. </p>

<p>I'd avoid larger schools, however, that seem to use the difficulty of math courses to "weed out" oversubscription in the business majors.</p>

<p>Finally, rather than avoiding math, you might want to consider confronting this reported weakness head-on right now by pursuing additional self-study or taking a course through a community college.
The effort will definitely pay dividends in your future studies, but could also improve your motivation and self-esteem.</p>
