A commerce student wanting to change field to science

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A commerce student currently enrolled in a BBA program has expressed a strong desire to transition to a field focused on physics and mathematics. Despite struggling with organic chemistry, the student has realized that commerce does not align with their interests after 1.5 years of study. Recommendations include exploring calculus, real and complex mathematics, and consulting with a college career counselor regarding the possibility of switching majors to physics or mathematics, while also considering any chemistry requirements that may exist.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of calculus
  • Familiarity with real and complex mathematics
  • Knowledge of university major switching policies
  • Awareness of AP classes in physics and mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research university policies on switching majors to physics or mathematics
  • Investigate AP classes in physics and mathematics for foundational knowledge
  • Consult with a college career counselor for guidance on transitioning fields
  • Explore online resources or courses in calculus and advanced mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Students considering a shift from commerce to science, particularly those interested in physics and mathematics, as well as academic advisors and career counselors assisting in major transitions.

Do not discourage me after reading this but please listen. I always loved maths and physics but i hated Organic chemistry so in order to avoid chemistry i ended up choosing commerce with maths.
Now, I am in 2nd yr of my college doing BBA. My class 11th and 12th was in lockdown so i did not study at all to be honest i did not know basics of accounts. So i actually started learning commerce in my college and after studying for 1.5 yrs i am realizing that i am not made for commerce. My heart still wants physics and maths.

I tried exploring paths in commerce but nothing interests me.
I dont think I will be able to sustain in this path.
I love studying but not commerce

You could start to study calculus, real and complex, and see whether it suits you better, in order to have a real comparison. It is by the way something that won't be in vain.

First, have you taken any physics and math courses at your university? Then, what are your options? At your university, do you have the option of switching majors (e.g., to physics or math)? And if you do, is there a requirement to take chemistry, and would you be willing to fulfill that requirement to achieve your goal?

What was the last time (which grade) you did any formal study in Physics and Maths? 10th? 12th? If you decide to re-start college/university as a science (physics / maths) student, they might expect that you have some formal education in these subjects.

One option might be to consider AP classes in Physics and Maths. Even with AP classes, I suspect you will need a 12th-grade certificate that includes Physics and Maths to be accepted into a university. The best advice I can offer is to talk to your college's career counselor.
 
TL;DR: How can I begin to gain an understanding of astronomy? Hello there, and thank you in advance to anyone that might answer this. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question like this, as I am new to this website and also very nervous about making a post that others might see/reply to. I am a freshman in high school and I am interested in astronomy. I want to learn about space, but I am not quite sure where to begin. Is there anything that I can do to seriously expand my...
