Taking Math with a History degree?

by ashivers00

Sorry for the roughness of this post, it is my first. What kind of math (if any) is required as a History major at college in the United States? Would it depend on the school? I want to major in History and become a History teacher, however, I am terrible at math... I would like to take the easiest math course available if I even need it. I cannot find any information on this, so I resorted to Reddit. Any information possible will help. What other classes are usually required? Some info: I go to a community college in Florida and my major as of now is a general Lib arts degree (I'm switching to History next year).

it would depend on your undergrad's course outline. But if you go teaching (irregardless of major/minor) it would be basic math. I doubt anything higher than Geometry for basic math classes.

​

My friends who are teachers struggled with psch more than the math part of the teaching. That class (in my experience) either its a C- or a A and little in between grading.

For my history degree (I am Computers also) I had 1 semester of Non Europe/American. 2 200 level Euro, 2 200 level american, 4 300 levels and a elective. I took a ton of euro even though I live for colonial us history as the american professor and I had a love/hate relationship. He loved my knowledge yet hated my writing style.

This all depends entirely on your college rules. I cannot tell specifics, but an admissions counselor could tell you more than I could. This would be for your college and not various ones around the US.
