I majored in accounting and we did the introductory finance course which covered thinks like time value of money, bonds, annuities/ perpetuities.

It was pretty easy, most of the math was high school level or the data analysis (fancy name for entry level uni statistics) which you said you got a B in.

Not sure what later courses would be like.

As for accounting, a large portion of my course was tax/financial reporting issues, which was fairly irrelevant to stock traders outside pre or post tax dividends and capital gains tax. (I'm in Australia).

My suggestion is to contact your business faculty and talk with someone, even ask to sit in on a higher level finance course and see if it looks like something you might be interested in.

Many had different answers contradicting one another. Not very helpful

Thanks! I'll definitely ask my counselor next time I'm able to see them about this. I've seen people complain about having to take calculus when it had no relevancy to their financial degrees

4th year finance here.

Most of the math you do in later classes (with the exception of a few) will be stats related. Things like regression and using other statistics.

I find the hardest thing is underatanding the concepts and what it all means when certain numbers change, which is far more important in upper level classes
