<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>I recently found out that I had been admitted into the Econ and Accounting pre-major at UCSB! I am extremely excited! Anyway, the reason I am here is because I have a few questions regarding UCSB's policies for transfer students. </p>

<p>I understand that in order to get into the full major I must complete a couple more classes at Santa Barbara. I have heard horror stories about Econ 10A. From what I've gathered, I would need to get atleast a B in that class to meet the requirements for that major. So here's my first question: let's say I'm unable to get that coveted B, would I then be able to switch my major to something else, or would that just mean i won't be able to graduate from UCSB? I have heard that some UCs are very strict when it comes to transfer students trying to switch majors. What is UCSBs policy regarding this?</p>

<p>My second queston is that, if we are allowed to switch, how difficult is it to get into their geology major? I have heard the UCSBs earth sciences are very good. I've also taken a great interest in that field, and believe both majors are part of the College of Letters and Sciences. Would I be able to switch to that major after completeing the premajor courses that are listed on assist?</p>

<p>two different questions. Not only could you switch, you would pretty much have to if you didn’t get the necessary grade in Econ 10A. Whether you could switch into geology, however, I have no idea. I would ask UCSB. I would also not assume you can’t get the B, since you go in pre warned.</p>

<p>Congratulations and good luck!!</p>
