Hi. I am an accounting and finance major (sophomore this fall) and am wondering what electives to choose. I have to pick two from:
Calculus II
Business Math and Linear Algebra
Applied Probability
Intro to Econometrics (prerequisite is Statistical Inference with Econometrics lab)
I want to choose courses that will help me most in preparing for the CFA exams. I hope to take the Level 1 in fall of senior year.
In my Freshman year I made the mistake of choosing a general management elective (I call it a mistake because there really wasn’t anything to study). Really regret it now because saving that elective would have given me more room to take quantitative courses. Oh well.
Please help me decide. Thanks.
I believe the math required to enter business school is adequate. Most good quality business school will require 1 basic class in calculus. Understanding statistics is also helpful. You might want to get a copy of a CFA exam to see if you can handle the math.
