New Sophia Courses: College Math and Chemistry
#13
(01-28-2022, 03:55 PM)dfrecore Wrote: I have my BSBA, and I never had anything come up in any of my business courses that I needed College Algebra or Stats for.  The only course I remember having any type of "math" in was an UL Finance course, and they taught you the formulas you needed for it.  I actually took Stats as my very last course (even after the capstone).

For the business world, Excel gives you everything you need to do any kind of math/formula you might need.  I worked in "mathy" areas of Business for 10 years, including 401(k) plan administration, Stock Plan Administration, and Compensation Management, without a degree, and never had to use anything in any way related to College Algebra or Stats.  I can honestly say I think those courses are a complete waste of time.

I used the algebra and stats in a few classes at UMPI, LSU, and Charleston Southern University's grad school. We all don't work in the compensation areas of employment. Lots of us have business degrees and use them in a variety of industries where we use algebra and stats on a daily basis. Certainly did when I was in construction. I've had a business degree for over 20 years and have used math in many of my jobs in different industries.
