<p>If transfer to UCLA, how many majors can I apply? Can I apply all the econ majors including:busineess econ, econ, econ/international, and mathmatics/econ. Thank you!~</p>
<p>Does other UCs have the same statics of transfer rate profile like the one in UCLA?</p>
<p>To noodlesli,</p>
<p>If you transfer to any UC, you apply to one major for each UC. You can’t pick multiple ones. For UCLA, you can do TAP if your community college has that program where you can pick your major and they’ll consider you also for an alternative major. The majors can be different at each UC when you apply, so it can be business at UC Berkeley, and Business Econonomics at UCLA, and etc.</p>
<p>The other UCs have different statistics on how many people they accept. UC Berkeley and UCLA look at GPA. For the other UCs, if you are a resident of California, and have been here for a specified amount of time and have completed the requirements for TAG, you can sign up for TAG</p>
<p>i found these links in the business major thread, i hope they help</p>

<p>imeanbusiness I have a question. I am attending UCLA and a Global Studies major but very interested in the Accounting Field. What recommendations could you give me in order to set a good plan to becoming one? I saw on your first thread that you do not need to be a bus econ, admin, econ, nor any of the majors you mentioned, but just sit for the CPA exam. How can this happen? Just take the 9 courses they say? do internships, or major in accounting itself at a CSU or something? I ve been hearing that it would be for my best interest to probably get a minor in math, stats, or accounting, and if possible do some networking at a CSU. Then again, others just tell me that if I pass the CPA exam I will be set. Hope you could help me out. thanks for all the helpful links by the way</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A minor in math or statistics won’t do anything. Try to get into the accounting minor program at UCLA. If not, then take the required accounting classes at a community college or sign up for the certificate accounting program at the UCLA extension.</p>
<p>itransfer how good is the certificate accounting program at UCLA extension? I ve heard it sucks because they say that it’s expensive, and they know anybody can go since it’s not “really UCLA” do you know anything about this? If I don’t get into the minor and take required accounting classes at community college why would this be recommended? Wouldn’t a person in the minor have more of an advantage or it doesnt matter?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can try getting into a masters program in accounting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Iono how good the certificate program is. I am just listing options you can do lol. I say just take the accounting classes at a community college. Try get an entry level accounting position. Finish the amount of units required for the CPA. Study for it and pass it. Once you get your CPA you will set and work your career from there. I think work experience will be more important than the institute/program/certificate you came from.</p>
<p>this is a very cool and excellent advice. Any advices on how to get an entry level position somewhere? so let’s say if I just major in global studies, don’t get a minor get an entry level position and still manage to study and pass the CPA exam will I be oright? Or still aim for the minor? I ve been hearing that Accounting majors have more of an advantage in regards to becoming successful and getting the CPA is this true? thanks for the advice hope to hear from you</p>
<p>this was very helpful and it’s nice to see a bunch of econ/biz-econ/accounting and etc majors out there! </p>
<p>does anyone mind chancing me? my chance thread is dead.</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/773337-uc-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/773337-uc-chances.html</a></p>
<p>@OP</p>
<p>“The California state universities also offer business programs at many schools. The schools with the strongest programs in business are Cal Poly SLO and University of San Diego. IGETC also works for these schools, but there is an additional requirement in one section.” </p>
<p>Just wondering how you think the rest of these CSU’s (CSU Long Beach, Fullerton, Cal Poly Pomona, San diego state)stack up for their business/accounting majors. I do agree with CPSLO being the best out of the CSU’s.</p>
<p>To UCLA3456</p>
<p>If I understand your situation correctly, you are a student at UCLA majoring in global studies that is interested in accounting also? Then why do you even mention CSUs and possibly doing accounting there? It sounds like a conflict of interest to finish with a degree and get another degree. What I suggest is that you should look at the requirements needed to sit for the CPA exam. </p>
<p>The requirements can be found here:</p>
<p>[CPA</a> Requirements](<a href=“http://www.calcpa.org/Content/licensure/requirements.aspx]CPA”>http://www.calcpa.org/Content/licensure/requirements.aspx)</p>
<p>There are two pathways. Fulfill whichever pathway so you’ll be able to sit for the CPA exam. What I suggest is that you take accounting courses, econ, or any math courses that are acceptable and can be used to fulfill the requirements for the cpa exam so you have enough units to be eligible to actually sit. I don’t see the logic in going to a CSU to get a degree if that’s what you are planning to do after almost completing a degree. </p>
<p>The certificate program is appealing, but if you are going into accounting, you should definitely lean towards attaining the CPA designation. Its becoming more of a requirement now to advance in the accounting industry and being able to achieve that early can possibly help you advance to higher positions in your firm. </p>
<p>What you can do is take accounting, econ, or math courses at a community college that fulfills those requirements as you you’ll be saving costs this way. This is beneficial in my point of view for you, because if you choose not to go into accounting, you already have a degree to fall back on. Also, if you have time, you can take accounting courses where you are currently attending or during summer anywhere, at a university or community college, to see if you can handle the subject material. Again, this is my opinion, you don’t need to follow it but you can consider it.</p>
<p>To mbe16</p>
<p>I would like to say that by looking at your gpa and the courses you completed, I would say that you are definitely on the right track in regards toward the schools you are applying to. I suggest you keep up the work ethic to complete your requirements, such as your major requirements and igetc in time. Also, may I suggest UCSD to your list since I think you are applying to schools in the Southern region of California.</p>
<p>In this link:</p>
<p>[Rady</a> School: Undergraduate Program](<a href=“http://management.ucsd.edu/undergrad/]Rady”>http://management.ucsd.edu/undergrad/)</p>
<p>you’ll see that UCSD will be offering upper division accounting courses in the 2010-2011 year for the first time, so you could be one of the first to take these courses. They also have prerequisite requirements that you should look at, and this is under the “Please note:” section. Make sure you complete equivalent courses at your community college, so you will be able to take these courses. Again, just take this into consideration when making your decisions.</p>
<p>To nujabes29</p>
<p>I have to say I misspoke in that tidbit of information you quoted. University of San Diego is not a California State University, and I apologize for misleading people into thinking so.</p>
<p>In response to your query, I believe that the California State Universities all offer well-rounded programs in accounting. There are quite a few number of graduates who go on to work for big firms. Grades are more important in this sense, because you will be competing with students from more established and prestigious programs. An immaculate scholastic record will definitely help in this sense. I have to say I don’t have extensive knowledge of the CSU’s programs in accounting to suggest which one is better than the other, but I can say that regardless of the program you still need to have good grades or internships to be appealing to potential employers. I would suggest the CSU’s as a good option towards cost if you are on a tight budget or if the school is closer and easier for you to attend for that reason. I apologize for not having vast knowledge about specifics of each of the programs, maybe others who have experience with CSU’s can help. Definitely, do what is best and comfortable for you</p>
<p>I want to add though, that going to a CSU in no way means you’ll be less successful compared to other peers, because once you are employed your success will be more dependent on your work performance</p>
<p>Hope this information has been helpful</p>
<p>imeanbusiness this is exactly the type of advice I needed! thanks so much. No I actually did not want to get a degree in accounting at a CSU since I am already a UCLA student and that would be too much trouble. Now, ok I ve been hearing a lot of advice on taking the CPA exam. In your opinion, do I need to have a minor at UCLA to improve my chances or just take it cool do global studies nothing else and focus on taking the required classes for the CPA exam? this is where I get confused because I have been adviced that I should be better off majoring in like stats or math because global studies doesn’t do me any good. Then again, I also like GS and in the other majors I mentioned to you I am way behind in the prereqs and don’t want to start all over. I really like your advice because it’s challenging and doable. I can definitely do it with hard work and motivation. But changing majors like others have told me would create lots of stress in me. what do you think?</p>
<p>In addition, the reason I mentioned a CSU is because that person I talked to adviced me that if I network with people there it would improve my chances on job prospects I don’t know what you think. Finally, I ve been hearing advices on the accounting minor at UCLA. Ok if I don’t get one but still have motivation for the CPA exam will I be oright? or at a disatvantage with those who do get this minor? If possible tell me what are the positive things about this particular minor. I ve been hearing all sorts of things some say it’s useful others say its very hard and a waste of time. A stats and math minor like I asked is useless for accounting and job opportunities correct?</p>
<p>nujabes29, i know a little bit about the cal states by word of mouth. i know that cal state long beach has a great business major, a lot of their students are business majors. cal state northridge has an EXCELLENT accounting program. my accounting teacher at our community college advertises it all the time and i know someone in their accounting program. they have excellent networking with accounting firms. i’m not too sure about the other cal states though.</p>
<p>imeanbusiness, thanks for the insight! yes, i love the southern california region. i wasn’t aware that ucsd will be offering those courses. it’s definitely something i will consider!</p>
<p>How hard is it to get to Econ/intl studies at UCLA knowing that i believe i am a perfect applicant in term of profile ( very multicultural etc…) ?
what is the average GPA ? or a range ?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Average admit is 3.86 </p>

<p>How are you the perfect applicant?stats?</p>
<p>If you are a transfer, can you stretch out your classes to stay there 4 years after you transfer? How could it be done? What would your excuse be to your parents?</p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>Anyone can take the CPA exam as long as they complete the course requirements, you don’t need a minor or even a degree in accounting. You could major in stats and mathematics if you want to pursue a career in those chosen fields. If you are just strictly focusing on accounting, the highest math that you need is basic math. Most people studying accounting are required to take two Calculus courses, but the math you’ll be using on a daily basis would be mostly the basics. Its ultimately your chosen path as to what you want to do for a career, and if you find accounting, mathematics, statistics, or anything interesting, then it’ll be easier for you to accomplish tasks because you’ll be more comfortable with it.</p>
<p>And as I stated earlier, the only thing you need to sit for the exam are to meet the course requirements in the following link:</p>
<p>[CPA</a> Requirements](<a href=“http://www.calcpa.org/Content/licensure/requirements.aspx]CPA”>http://www.calcpa.org/Content/licensure/requirements.aspx)</p>
<p>Either pathway 1 or pathway 2, whichever works best for you. You can always get an internship if you want to find job prospects, and having the CPA certification will definitely boost your chances of getting a job over those who don’t have it. If you want to major in mathematics or statistics, you can become an actuary if are successful in your studies. Don’t confuse accounting with mathematics or statistics, as they are not related to each other.</p>
<p>To monaco24</p>
<p>you can see your chances in the link that Dam Its Johnny provided which is:</p>
<p>[Profile</a> of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2009 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof09_mjr.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof09_mjr.htm)</p>
<p>Can you clarify what you mean when you say you are the “perfect applicant in term of profile” as to my understanding I don’t think UCs take race into account when determining admissions? You should focus more on getting your major courses completed to be a successful applicant.</p>
<p>To collegeboss</p>
<p>You might be possible to stretch out your classes to stay 4 years after you transfer, but I don’t see why you would. If you completed your prerequisite courses already, you should be able to complete your degree in 4 years. Unless you have a specific reason for staying for 4 years, I don’t see why you can’t complete it in the 2 years you are provided, given that you are a transfer applicant. Also, I wouldn’t know how you would explain that to your parents as I’m assuming they will be paying the costs for your education and they’ll understand that you could have completed your degree in 2 years. If you have a specific reason for staying, then possibly elaborating on it will allow me to better understand your situation.</p>
