[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the multiple stats classes that are required.[/quote]

Yup, and they're not just "jump through the hoop" math classes like in sociology and psych majors, where you just take one or two dreaded stats classes and then go back to your easy major.  Upper-level marketing classes are VERY math-heavy.  T[b]he "dumb sorority girl" stereotype is dead wrong, these "dumb sorority girls" are actually doing a pretty tough quantitative degree[/b].

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Look up the graduation requirements for a marketing major. Outside of the core degree requirements, the required classes for the major are NOT 'tough quantitative' by any stretch of the imagination. As an example, the following is from Notre Dame and while I'm not saying the classes are fluff, they are not hard-core math/science either.

Requirements:
Business Administration Core Courses + 21 credits in the
following courses:
BU 301 Consumer Behavior
BU 375 Marketing Research
BU 380 Sales Management
BU 385 Marketing Management
BU 390 Advertising
BU 450 Global Marketing

Including one of the following courses:
AR 209 Black and White Photography I
AR 223 Graphic Design I
CA 220 Newswriting
CA 323 Media Writing
CA 403 Public Relations
IS 243 Multimedia Development
IS 245 Website Design and Development[/quote]

Yes, this. Please post a link to an undergrad program in marketing that requires complex, upper-level math. I'll believe it when I see it.[/quote]
