<p>Is avoiding math as an undergrad a really bad idea? (If you’re not going to be a free spirit art major?)</p>
<p>My friend is freaking me out about it. I’m not very good at math so I don’t want to risk hurting a 4.0 GPA or anything with a math course. What should I do? Or is she wrong and is math not that important in life?</p>
<p>and so you are majoring in are and working toward a MFA? Most schools incorporate some elements of liberal arts…some quantative evaluation course. I’d say meet the requirements for your degree and forget about it.</p>
<p>Yeah there are math requirements but they are things like econmoics and stats, which I find easier than calculus. But she’s saying I need a solid background in math…</p>
<p>MFA?</p>
<p>oops sorry should have said BFA[ba in fine arts]. If I may say so your friend doens’t have your best interest at heart. Forget about calc, forget about calc and get a new friend when you get to school.</p>
<p>econometrics are rather tough, IMO.</p>
<p>you dont need math for humanities and arts… at all. a little bit for business.</p>
<p>At a high level college, they won’t have stringent requirements for math, mostly because most students at a high caliber school will have taken some intensive math course before colleges (such as calculus).</p>
