[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Almost every college major requires calculus[/b].

Have him take it over the summer at the community college and transfer the credits. The grade does not transfer so he can get a c-.

Get a tutor, it's 6 painful weeks but get it over with.

My son is taking 4 classes a semester/5 years to graduate so it's not such a slog.[/quote]

Come on, that is not true. This will obviously vary by school, so OP/son should check their school's catalog and look up the major requirements as well as any general ed requirements. [b]They may have to take one math class, but it could probably be something like Statistics or Data Analytics, not necessarily Calculus.[/b][/quote]

Hi. I have a BS in statistics.

- I had 3 semesters of calculus, followed by Applied Differential Equations during college.
- I also had math theory, matrix algebra (which I loved), and 3 semesters of computer science. 
- Plus my statistics classes -- which included theory as well as applied. The two stat theory classes (required for undergrad) were calculus based.
