You might major in communications, English, drama or journalism, although people who wirte sitcoms had all sorts of college majors. Consider choosing a field which genuinely interest you.

There are many career options in the area of marketing and advertising.    I do not believe most marketing and advertising degrees will require more than a year of calculus at most.  \n\nHow much math you need to have a successful career however will depend on your career objective or goal.  for example, if you are looking to be a copywriter, designer or part of the creative process, you won't need much math background to be successful.   If you are looking for a more traditional career in marketing and advertising, a math background will be advantageous.   \n\nA career in this field requires professionals to decide what marketing and advertising techniques are most effective.   That requires some analytical capability.   Statistics is the math of choice to help determine advertising and marketing effectiveness.  For example, if you create two different television commercials, how do you know which one is the best?   You may decide to show both commerials to various audiences and analyze their respective behaviors.  You will want to know which one of the commercials drove the best results.   This will require some understanding of some core statistical concepts.\n\nA math background will also help you in traditional marketing tasks such as research, campaign analysis and budgeting.  For example, if you decide you want to research your customers and you decide to use a survey to gather answers, you will have to know how to interpret the results of the survey.  This requires an ability to understand statistical concepts such as, did I survey enough customers?   do the answers accurately represent my target customer? \n\nDon't worry, you won't have to compete with the math geeks to be a successul marketer.   You need to know enough so you will feel comfortable with your job.    Take about a year of calculus and heavy up on your statistics classes.

350 is sufficient. Great Question.\n\nI'm a math major.

I think I answered your question before...but not sure if you got it, so I'll write it here...\n\nI'm pre-med, and I've taken up through Calc II. A lot of pre-med students do that. However, I think that being pre-med only requires Pre-calc, or at most, Calc I. However, it also depends on your major. Chem majors need more calc than bio majors do...but don't worry. You have all of college to get that stuff in :)\n\nRegarding calc in med school, I don't know if you actually need it there, but I was told that math majors actually do the best on the MCAT because the process of thinking you need to do well as a math major is very similar to the process of thinking you need to succeed on the MCAT. Hope that helps!

Do you mean what math class should you take after highschool?  It depends how far you got in highschool.  You could take College Algebra and Trig, or you may be ready to take Precalculus or even Calculus.  Statistics is also a type of math class which is needed for many majors and can be taken first year college if all prerequisites are met.  \n\nBest of luck.

If you're trying to get into a selective college, or if you plan to major in something math-related, take the pre-calculus. If you're not planning to major in math or a science and you're applying to an average college, just do whatever you have to do to graduate from high school.

Depending on how many other classes u will be taking, and how challenging they are, I would try to take them together.  If you have other challenging classes I would hold off to take the other later.  I took 18 credits at a time in order to graduate and took 2 math classes at one time and it worked out great, but planned it so I took my easier classes that semester too.\nGOODLUCK!

I have no idea about college requirements but I can tell you that math is the one subject you will continue to use over and over and over throughout your life. Take all the courses you can - especially if you're in engineering. A degree won't improve your ultimate paycheck but knowing how to add it all up and properly apply all you have learned will. Everyone can read and write well enough to get by in this world - just look around at all the "graduates" young and old who use improper grammer, can't spell, and who have terrible penmanship. English is nothing compared to Math. Keep up the good work!

You can get some college credit if you are going to send your paper to credit transfering agent.Remember not all college credits. so u have to take almost rest of the class.

Why yes they are, you are just like me (just younger), i took calculus 1, 2 @16, Calculus 3 and differential equations @17, Vectors and matrices, numerical analysis, and probability and statistics, Partial differential equations 1 @ 18... you get the picture, if you keep up with the math, you can graduate out of highschool with a major in math.  That is a great gift you can give yourself.  I applaud that a 12 year old is so interested in math.  Keep up the awesome work.

How's your math?  At many colleges, there are different types of computer majors.  A major in computer programming--i.e., computer science--requires as many math classes as it does computer classes, and often physics too.  Some schools have math and comp sci as one department!  On the other hand, there are majors out there like information systems and business computing, which deal more with computer software, databases, web design, and using computers than programming them.  It's a really different focus than a computer science major!  \n\nYou might not know right now what exactly you want to do with computers, and that's fine.  But I recommend looking at yourself and your skills realistically when you start planning your college career.  You'll probably take a math placement test the summer before your first semester--that score will give you an idea of what math classes you can take.  If you place into remedial math, the honest truth is that you'd have to take several semesters of math, getting up to calculus, before you'd even be allowed to start taking programming classes.  It's still possible to major in comp sci, but it'll be a big challenge.  If you place low in math, then it's likely that information systems might be the major that you'll enjoy more and do better in.\n\nI don't know you: you could be taking AP calc right now and rocking it, in which case you have nothing to worry about and can go where your little heart desires.  But when you pick your college, you should look at the requirements for the different computer-related majors and see if the course descriptions look interesting and if the math and science requirements look do-able for you.  Then, your freshman year, take the highest level math you qualify for, take the intro computer science class if you can, and take the intro business computing class.  See what you like best and what you do the best in.

Why don't you go talk to your advisor first to make sure you don't lose any of your credits you have taken in the first two years. I imagine you have been taking core classes which would apply to most majors. Secondly, why don't you look at a double major as a possibility. You can't have too much education. Remember that the "stuff" you watch on television such as "Sex in the City" is Hollywood made up stuff. It is not all that glorified and glamourour. We do need great reporters and writers but do NOT use Sex in the City for a guideline. You would be better off talking to a real journalist as to what to expect in your newly chosen major. Good luck to you and stay in College no matter what and get some sort of degree.

That depends on the school you go to, and your level of understanding in those subjects.  It is supposed to be for college credit, so naturally it should be on the freshman college level.

Yes if you can master all the math up to and including calculus. \n\nI could give you a "nice" answer but the truth is better in the long run. If you can do very well in math and science in high school, you have a chance to get an engineering degree but if math and science are a mystery then the chances of getting an engineering degree or any technical degree are very slim.

In the US, Trig is normally considered as a high school level course, however, it is not a required course to graduate. I believe Algebra is the highest of the high school math courses that are required for graduation, although some schools may still only require Geometry.\nIn the US the typical sequence for math courses is Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and then Calculus (which is usually taken at the high school level as Pre-Calculus, but may also be taken as full "AP" Calculus, where the "AP" stands for "Advanced Placement" and means that the student can get University-level credit for that course when they go to College).
