Well the Governor has given schools a year to cut 5-10% or he says he will do it for them. Will be interesting.

I don't believe that this is the governor's decision alone. The General Assembly will certainly have input, especially if they hear from their constituents that they don't want that level of cuts. Watch for the state's colleges and universities to lobby this one. It's one of the few times, given past history, when these folks work in concert with each other. You may right that Kasich will be successful this time, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.

A College of Business degree doesn't require a lot of math classes as prerequisites because many of the majors are basically concentrated math specialties. Accounting, Finance, Economics and MIS are all very heavily focused in math.

I didn't have to take a foreign language, but the technology and math components of STEM are present in much of the College of Business curriculum.
My COB degree DID require a fair deal of math as a prerequisite. I graduated 2012. Before taking the business cluster (202 entry-level management, finance, marketing, mis and project required for ALL business majors) it was required a student take a calculus (some had to take pre-calc to qualify, not sure % but a fair amount had to go this route) and two statistics classes (basic stats and QBA)
It is my understanding they combined the two stats classes into one. That is still 2 math classes counting calc before going into business. 3 if you don't qualify for calculus out of high school. That is based on ACT. I think you need north of 23 in math??? Don't quote me on that number.

Sidebar: Graduated in 4.5 years. Would've been 4 flat but I had to drop out to have surgery. I started undecided with an idea of going business econ and ended up going finance so that certainly was helpful, but this was within the last 5 years so to say it isn't possible anymore is ridiculous. The KEY is not jumping around between unrelated majors (or even related majors) so you don't take a lot of classes that don't count towards your major/college. I took classes in a variety of fields, but I always, always, ALWAYS made sure it was going towards the elective requirements built into my degree program.

As an Accounting & MIS graduate, I completely disagree. There is very little math in both these professions, unless you count basic adding and subtracting.

As the son of a mathematics professor, I totally agree with this statement. There's a great deal of difference between mathematics and arithmetic. While I could master statistics and even Algebra, I flunked Calculus. My father thought it was youthful rebellion. The truth, however, was that I was just no darn good at higher mathematics, which requires completely different cognitive skills and abilities to master compared to accounting and all but the most complex modeling in economics.

There are a lot of different applications of math. A more scientific use is in engineering. A more practical, everyday use is in business. I have spent my entire career in the financial planning profession, and I use some form of math every single day. Beyond basic functions, I use interest and time value of money, statistics, actuarial calculations, and forecasting on a regular basis.

It's not, but he's got some juice on this: And since when has a legislature listened to the people? Sounds great in theory
