I will say that a business management degree would be pretty challenging for someone who has a hard time with math. There are a lot of pre-requisite classes that were challenging for me even though I am pretty good at math, but I took to tutoring courses that were very helpful. Also a lot of those classes run on curved scoring system, which is very helpful. It's worth it!

Hi, I have a degree in Business Management and now use it as a consultant helping different companies.
A degree in Business Management is not notoriously hard like Physics or Chemistry. I think the most difficult aspect is that it is quite broad and sometimes there is no "correct" answer in real life. Personally, I explored other programs in college and found that I liked how broad it was because I was interested in getting involved in different aspects.
As others mentioned here, the first step is definitely to explore what you would like to learn! Never let the "perceived difficulty" stop you from pursuing it.

The most important and sometimes the most difficult part of attaining a degree is determining which would be the one best suited for you based upon your personality traits. During my years in Human Resources I have found that too often if something is hard to learn or difficult to take in, it is because it is in the wrong career area. Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many . If you are in the correct career you would view your studies as stepping stones to your career and find them challenging, but not extremely hard, or you might just be studying the wrong area.

Hi. I have a degree in business management and I would say this is truly based off the individual. I had a passion for understanding business and how it works so the degree overall was challenging but I wouldn't call it "extremely hard." I will say that there were some classes that were harder than others for me such as Accounting and Statistics but some people take well to those subjects and it clicks to them.
