Really simple. Managerial (And the Finance course) got more complicated with some formulas for figuring out bonds and whatnot, but I still wouldn't say that you had to be particularly good at math to understand the concepts or pass the courses. Just an FYI - I'm still struggling through Stats! :-P
This is good to know. My son is finishing up the last of his non-math related courses, taking a break, and then he needs to tackle accounting, managerial accounting, statistics, and business statistics as his final courses to transfer to WGU. He's dreading stats, but at least I can reassure him that accounting won't be too terrible. As of right now he's planning on both accounting courses via SL and stats at Study.com, after he takes a month or so break once he completes Project Management next Monday.
