   There is a lot of math. You probably shouldn’t major in business. You have to take basic calculus and a few accounting and finance classes as major requirements. There is also math incorporated into a lot of the other classes you take like the advanced economics classes. If you like business but don’t like math you could major in communications with a focus on advertising or public relations. You’ll still end up working in the business world but you’ll only have to take 1 or 2 basic math classes.

   No, math requirement is not extensive for this major. For that, it’s degrees in the physical sciences as well as engineering.

   Almost every major require some math courses. Stop telling yourself you are not good at math and instead, believe that you can do well in those courses. You will still have to go up to calculus I or II I believe.
