<p>I am going to be transferring to Northeastern in the fall, and I am thinking about declaring a business major on top of my political science major. However, I have not taken Calculus or Economics. I am thinking about taking Calculus for Business/Economics, but only credit would transfer not my grade, which could somewhat affect my ability to be admitted in the business school. I am not a "math" person which is why I was considering focusing on it in the summer. Would it really hurt my chances to be accepted in the business school?</p>
<p>I would say that you should definitely go ahead and take both Calc and Economics prep. I’m not sure whether Northeastern will allow you to transfer those credits (you may know better than I do, but they’re pretty strict regarding transfer credits), but it’s required to take Business Calc and Economics freshmen year unless you have AP credit. Not sure if it would “hurt” your chances, but as long as you do well it could only be a plus.</p>
<p>Feel free to reply if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Are you asking if you should take it at Northeastern over the summer (summer I or summer II)?
Absolutely. Always always take harder classes over the summer, simply because professors don’t have the time to go into depth, but you’ll cover a lot more, a lot faster than during regular semesters, so the possibility of falling behind is very real (and dangerous)</p>
<p>Also, if you have a good teacher and you put in the effort, calc for business and economics is really not that bad. </p>
<p>From what I hear (I didn’t transfer into NEU, I was always here tehehe), NEU is very strict about transfer credits, so make sure that they’ll accept the credits if you take it at, say, a community college. </p>
