The requirement of math in OB among all business majors should be the least. However, some universities require calculus and linear algebra as basic requirement because in the first year of management PhD programs, we need to take economics courses. Actually those courses are not useful for further OB research but we must pass. Some universities do not have those math requirements but require students to take a math course before the first semester, such as Drexel U. In OB research, we use statistical methods, such as regression, ANOVA, structural equation modeling and hierarchical linear modeling which do not require strong math background. In addition, math is not totally equal to statistics. You can emphasize your social science background and choose universities carefully which would increase your chance for success. |
