Math Options for Business Majors
1) What Math options are available to me as a Business student?

2) How do I decide which Math series to take?

3) Where do I start in my chosen Math series given my placement level?
 
 

1) Math options available to Business students: 

The Business degree (B.S. in Business Administration) requires the 130s series in Mathematics (130, 131, 132). Students who wish to enrich their program in Mathematics are invited and encouraged to take the 150s series or higher. About 10-20% of Business students (mostly Honors students) include a stronger Math component in their programs. Click here for a description of the 130s or 150s courses. If you are Placement Level L, click here for additional Calculus options. 
 
 

2) How to Decide: 

You are encouraged to select the higher math level series if one or more of the following apply to you:
 
 

a) · like math 
· are good at math 
· have a strong background in math
b) · are an Honors student
c) · are considering graduate study 
d) · are considering taking extra or substitute courses that require a stronger math component, such as Actuarial Science, Computer and Information Science, Econometrics, or Statistics
