<p>Is it difficult? I heard there is a lot of math involved? I am looking around at the business/economics majors and was wondering if I could get some input on how the major is! Thank you!
(btw, I'm going to be a senior in highschool in fall of 2011)</p>
<p>Might wanna post this on the UC Davis forum. You’d get more responses.</p>
<p>Many schools offer a ba or a bs. Chances are you’ll still have to take calculus under both programs, but with the ba it might be a watered down version called “business calc” or “applied calc.” At least that’s how it is at my school. You might also be required to take a stats class, especially if you’re doing the bs. Any more math is usually not required, but up to you. </p>
<p>Hard is subjective, so I’m not sure how to really answer that for you. Go look at the requirements at UC-Davis so you get an idea of what you have to take and whether or not you see yourself liking those classes and being able to do well.</p>
<p>Thank you, ravensfan!</p>
<p>Here’s the list of requirements at UCD for a B.A. in Econ:

<p>and a B.S. in managerial economics:

<p>It isn’t too math intensive-statistics and two to three quarters of calculus, but how difficult you’ll find it depends on you. Watch out for the UCD’s econ department’s bell curve, though; it means you’ll probably pass, but you may wind up with a lower GPA than you’d expect based on your raw test scores.</p>
