What You Will Learn

While math is important for an accounting degree, you will not need to be a complete math genius to get through your accounting degree. You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that the most important math skills you will need are typically the math fundamentals and some ability to learn statistics. So if you struggled with high school calculus, don’t worry. The theoretical math will not come into play as much with an accounting degree.

Accounting graduates need a much more broad based math skill set with less theoretical than most would expect. With the exception of some of the higher accounting degrees, it will be your basic math skills and algebra that will help you most. So don’t shy away from an accounting degree because you think you needed to be an A student in calculus, trigonometry or geometry. If you generally enjoy the more practical math classes and it makes sense to you. You should be fine.
