I think the question mostly boils down to how much maths you are intending on doing in the future, calculus is very useful for doing other stuff, huge swathes of maths, physics etc depend on it (including most of statistics if you get a little deeper), however in itself it is not so useful directly. So if you are intending on taking any more maths courses in the future (including stats) the calculus will be very useful, however if not, a more vocational stats course may make more sense as you will probably end up directly applying its contents.

My major is Technical Management with a focus in Project Management. I do not plan to take anymore math classes after this, supposedly this is the last one i need to get my degree so...i can only hope for the best at this point, i think i should have gone with calculus though...i guess i will know once i am in project management at work and see what we use more....hmmm (pulling on LAST hair in my head) grrrr
