I am not good in math and want to get my degree,what should I study? Please give good answers!?

Answer 1

The answerer who indicated a bachelor of science degree was to be avoided isn't being helpful - either a BS or BA degree typically requires at least a basic algebra general education class. You can't avoid that class.

Nursing requires a statistics class in addition to algebra. Stats is a challenge for math-inhibited students, particularly if not taught in a good setting (smaller school, smaller classes, no grad assistant, good prof). Psychology and sociology both require statistics as well. If you absolutely can't/won't do math, those are out as well.

English, history, literature, art, theatre, anthropology, political science, biblical studies/theology, music, journalism, recreation, foreign languages, and sports management all require the minimal general education math course (be aware that some colleges may require more).

If you are willing to take one more math course than the general education algebra class, your choices open up quite a bit, even in education (although you still have to pass a math proficiency exam while a student to be a public school teacher). I have not added any heavy science oriented suggestions since difficulties in math often accompanies difficulty with chemistry, etc....

It is worth it to try to learn math. It is not so much that you will use the concepts again (although it will surprise you how much you use throughout your life when you are older) but studying math teaches you how to think and analyze things. It's not my favorite subject, but I have made myself do it and I am thankful I did.

Answer 2

The higher paying jobs usually require decent math skills. I am not a math genius either, but I have decided to excel at math at all costs, because I realize that is where the good jobs are. If you are not good in math, I would suggest purchasing or checking out some of those math for dummies books from your local library or bookstore, and study math concepts on your own. Take notes, practice solving problems step by step, and you will be surprised by how good you actually are in math.

Answer 3

First of all it depends on what type of degree you want to get- Associates (Vocational) or Baccalaureate.
An Associate of Applied Science/ vocational degree in a very specialized program may not require a lot of math. For example (in Oregon) an Associates in Applied Science-in Building Construction Technology or Nursing only requires Intro to Algebra.
A Baccalaureate degree (in Oregon) requires that you are at least at College level Algebra in order to get a B.A.
I am curious to why you think that you are not 'good' at math? For all you know you might have a love a math only you did not have a good teacher to help you discover it. I thought that I wasn't good at math but I was able to overcome my doubts with the help of a good teacher and the support of a tutor. Furthermore, if you’ think’ or ‘believe’ you are not good at something then of course you are not going to be good at it. Getting through it take more perseverance then intelligence. You can be the smartest person in the world but if you give up then you achieve nothing.
Another thing to consider is that you should pursue a degree in something you enjoy and go from there.
Ask yourself, 'what do I truly enjoy doing, where do I want to be or where do I see myself in the future'-this involves clarifying your values. From there you can research those careers-I recommend searching http://www.bls.gov
You can find out the specifics of an occupation- and most importantly it will tell you what/ who the accrediting agency is. This information can help you begin the search of schools that offer degrees for those careers. I hope this helps

Answer 4

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and a Master of Arts degree in British and American Literature. This involved one simple math class during my six years of college. It happens to be a very versatile degree, although it doesn't sound like it. One can teach at a community college, work in public relations, for insurance companies, and the list goes on. Companies do like the Arts degrees. Now, you have to take a substantial amount of foreign language to get the Arts, as opposed to the Science degrees (Bachelor of Science), but it doesn't involve math! All the best.

Answer 5

I am in a similar situation. Journalism, English, Music are the main ones I know that don't require much math. Surprisingly, nursing really doesn't either....its more of the sciences. You could go to your college counselor and ask for suggestions on which majors don't require many math courses. Hope that helps.

Answer 6

Stay away from the Bachelors of Science degrees. Something in the humanities will have very little math, altho you'll likely still have to do some.

Answer 7

I would suggest either business administration or criminal justice. I'm not good at math either and I'm getting my degree in criminal justice. So far I haven't had to take any math classes and I'm a junior.
