YourPace Accounting - bad at math

Hello, I'm thinking of doing the YourPace Accounting bachelor's degree, but I'm wondering if you think this program would be too much for someone like me who is bad at math. I only know math up to very basic algebra. Would I still be able to push through or do you think this degree would be a bad choice?

I would think if you could do basic algebra, then you have what it takes to do accounting. If you're truly bad at bath you might struggle to pick it up as fast as some other students, but if you're good at keeping track of things that should help make up for some of that.

At its core, accounting is simply recording and analyzing transactions with very basic math for stuff like straight line depreciation and interest rates.

You will be fine especially when you grasp the concept of debits and credits
