<p>I applied to SJSU, SDSU and I will apply to CSU Northridge. Out of these three schools which do you recommend for Accounting major? I have a 3.62 GPA prior to this Fall 2009 quarter at my junior college.</p>
<p>To Cupertinotransfr,</p>
<p>I believe that as long as you complete the prerequisites for Haas/UCLA by the end of spring semester or quarter then you will be okay. Though, you have to consider that other students who have completed the courses with good grades will be more favorable to admission committees, but if you are not able to complete those courses in time, then take your time and don’t risk hurting your gpa.</p>
<p>I would advise you to just be more proactive in your efforts to get a good position in your internship, to gain experience and be an integral part of whatever you do, whether it is an internship or a club.</p>
<p>To jkatakoon,</p>
<p>I would suggest you consider applying to the school which fits you the most. If I may ask, I think you have a good shot at being admitted to a UC with that gpa. If its not too late, maybe you can fill out an application and see what happens. Go to the school where you feel that you will be the most comfortable and that has the best program for you.</p>
<p>imeanbusiness - I applied to SLO last night, and UCI as well. But the thing about UCI is that they’re only accepting 15-20 transfer students for Business Administration (my major is specifically Accounting). And the other UCs don’t have this major (most only have Econ). CSUs are known for Business Admin whereas UCs are known for Econ if I’m right (please correct me if I’m wrong).</p>
<p>Well I stated in the introduction that nearly all the UCs offer some form of accounting. UC Berkeley has Business Administration and so does UC Irvine. UCLA has Business Economics where you can get a minor in accounting with two more accounting courses. UCSD is probably starting a new accounting program with the link I provided. The UCs typically have econ, but you can take courses for accounting as most UCs do offer them. What you can do is always check the schedule of classes to see if there are accounting courses offered. Since your major is specifically accounting, I believe you would have a legitimate chance at the UCs had you applied to others. I believe SLO has a strong Business program. I hope you find the best fit for you.</p>
<p>If you can, you can add extra UCs to your list such as UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCD, or UCSB. They all have accounting programs if you search it up.</p>
<p>can anyone update me on how admittances are going for current UCs in regards to business programs?</p>
<p>Hi, I am a transferring student who got admitted by Pepperdine, UCSB,and UCSD. I am sure you dont know me but it will be so nice of u to answer my question. I want to major in accounting/business area. so, 1, is the econ stuff in UCSD too far away from that? It is a good school but how about the major? 2, I really want to know how good is the BizEco (accounting emphasize )in UCSB comparing to the Bus in Pepperdine? Please reply, thank you so much!!!</p>
<p>@jkatakoon</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you go to Deanza?</li>
<li>UCI Biz Admin must be lying because I know at least 15 people in person/on this board who got accepted. Maybe only 15 transfers end up going there.</li>
</ol>
<p>To ellytu, </p>
<p>any of the schools you listed will serve you well in accounting. You should focus most of your time on the grades you get in your accounting courses, so you will have more success when it comes time for interviews with Big 4 accounting firms. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the schools you listed.</p>
<p>To jkatakoon,</p>
<p>It is true that UCs are known for Econ, but some UCs do offer the Bus Admin degree. For example, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside. Most of the other UCs offer an economics degree with an emphasis on accounting, otherwise known as Business Economics, or Bizecon for short. If you are looking for a career in business, a business admin degree will help, but it isn’t limiting to have a degree solely in Economics. As long as you have high grades, and you start getting internships, (networking, getting your name out to recruiters and employers), you should have no problem getting a job in business. </p>
<p>Unless you have a degree from a top UC in Business like UC Berkeley, you would have to make a solid impression at the places you intern and the people you network with if you have just an economics degree or any other degree. You have to make your own way, because in the past, it has always been about networking. In my opinion, counselors are just shoving that word to every college graduate these days without giving any substance. It has become overrated in a sense, or an expectation. People who get internships and get offers are those who produce results and show immediate potential. That’s the new beast. I’m sure you’ll be successful if you go into your job or career with good attitude.</p>

<p>I just wanted to post this. This is post-grad information about students studying business at UC Berkeley. Even with the recent recession you can see that with half of the graduates who replied to the survey, 82% are employed a high number and a lot at prestigious companies and corporations. </p>
<p><a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Econ.stm[/url]”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Econ.stm</a></p>
<p>If you look at economics, you’ll see that the percentage employed still hovers close to 50%. </p>
<p>My point that I want to make is that UC Berkeley has an exceptional business program and offers great internship opportunities as well as offering their own career center within the business program that is exclusive to these business students.</p>
<p>Getting admission to this program is like a key to enter these top corporations, because with this high employment you can expect that graduates receive multiple offers even during these times. </p>
<p>If you want to take an easier path to get employment and a solid start on a career, one should definitely try to apply, because few schools can boast those numbers.</p>
<p>I’m here to help anyone who wants to transfer into a Business or Economics major at a UC. So if you need any help, you can post your questions.</p>
<p>Hi! I am a college student and plan to apply transfer this year. my major is accounting, and my goal is to be a cpa. it seems like seldom UCs offer undergraduate degree of accouting major except UCSB, while Most of CSU do offer accounting major. I wonder if i should choose UCSB or not, bc i dont know its good or not. Or should I choose a CSU? Which is best for me??</p>
<p>I think good choices would be </p>
<p>UCSB: Econ and Accounting
UCLA: Business Economics or accounting minor
UCB: Business Admin or Econ major(with accounting classes on the side)</p>
<p>Other schools that offer accounting:
UCI: Business Admin / or Accounting minor
UCSD: Accounting Minor </p>
<p>I would choose schools based on Big 4 Recruitment. I know for sure the Big 4 recruits at UCB, UCLA, UCSB, and UCI. I don’t know about UCSD though. Their accounting program is still relatively new.</p>
<p>But if I had to choose I would probably go with UCB, UCLA, or UCSB because their accounting program is pretty well established.</p>
<p>For CSU I would probably go with CSUF, CSUN, and Cal Poly SLO</p>
<p>I believe UCSB’s is Biz Econ:emphasis in Accounting…great program and department.</p>
<p>Spot on with the rest of your post</p>
<p>Can somebody help me? I have two questions.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I am looking at UC Riverside’s Business Informatics with an emphasis on accounting. I read that they prefer completing the lower division courses rather than IGETC prior to transfer. I am so confused. I went on Assist. Am I supposed to complete the breadth AND the preparatory courses in order to transfer? What about the IGETC?</p></li>
<li><p>I am also looking at UCSB’s Economics and Accounting. Am i suppose to complete IGETC, or breadth, and along with the preparatory courses?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I don’t know what classes to take. Please help.</p>
<p>hey guys, I am shooting for UCLA Bus Econ. I know it’s very hard to get into and I’m considering UCSB Econ and Acctng as a backup. The prereqs are almost exactly the same for each program, except UCSB wants Statistics in addition to Calculus 1 (but no Calc 2). Per UCLA’s prereqs, I’ll be taking Calc 1 and 2 by Fall '12 (transfer time for me).</p>
<p>Will I be at a disadvantage if I apply for TAG to UCSB but don’t have Stats finished by the time I transfer?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes try to complete the pre-reqs and IGETC before you transfer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would concentrate on your top priority.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Of course you will always be disadvantaged compared to having stats done. I don’t think it will be that severe though.</p>
