<p>ok so it looks like im deciding between usd and uci business, but i was accepted as undeclared for uci. i know the uci business program is new, but from the looks of it, the program seems highly ranked. however, usd is ranked by us news and businessweek, while uci doesnt seem to be ranked at all. also i want to major specifically in accounting. which is the better option? also this might sound a bit ridiculous but is it possible to transfer from uci to berkeley by my junior year? thanks for any input. God bless.</p>
<p>I can’t help differentiate between USD and UCI, but I can tell you do that UCI does have a business school. As for transferring to UC Berkeley, if you do really want to transfer over, you should consider a community college. It offers a better option to getting into UCLA or any other UC and you have a significantly higher chance to get into Berkeley while getting into Berkeley from UCI is pretty low of a chance. Then again, you might change your mind, as most people I’ve seen here who had the intention of transferring backed out after getting accustomed to UCI, but yeah, it’s really up to you.</p>
<p>There is no Accounting major for the UCs. It’s really hard to change into Business Administration at UCI, if that’s what you’re thinking of doing. They only accept around 10 change of majors a year - and that’s not until the end of your sophomore year. If you think you can maintain the GPA to get accepted as a transfer into berkeley, then you can probably get accepted as change of major into Bus Admin at UCI. However, you can major in Business Economics (or whatever other major) and minor in Accounting. There’s an application for that too, but if you have above a 3.7 / 3.8 GPA you will probably get accepted. You can’t add the minor until you meet the pre-reqs though - so probably your Sophomore year.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about USD though, after a quick google it seems like they have an actual Accountancy major. I couldn’t find information about what firms recruit there, but you might be better off there if that’s the major you want. </p>
<p>However, how you feel about each of the schools / its students affects things too.</p>
