<p>I believe that if you take all the pre-reqs you can, like Math 31a/b, Econ 1/2, and Management 1a/b (I believe that’s all the pre-reqs you can take), those grades don’t factor in. From there, you will need to get a 3.5 GPA in all future pre-major classes, so Econ 11, 41, and 101 and have a cumulative 3.3 overall UCLA GPA. </p>
<p>You are correct, your community college GPA doesn’t transfer, the units and requirements are the only parts that do.</p>
<p>WOW so i need to average a 3.5 in Econ 11, 41 and 101? i heard 11, and 101 were some of the harder classes for the major. -_-</p>
<p>^^^ I have yet to take Econ 11 and 101, will next year though, and have also heard the same. But alot depends on your teacher, what you deem as hard, your other classes, if you are an actual student or a party animal, how you (as a transfer) will adjust to life on a real campus, as in living on campus rather than just “going to school”, etc…</p>
<p>It’s what you make of it.</p>
<p>And don’t think that just because you don’t make Biz-Econ you can’t do anything. Just do regular econ and get what you can from it and pursue your goals. Learn to accept the situations you are placed in and thrive in them, even if they aren’t the most ideal.</p>
<p>yea man i completely agree, but i feel like i would be better off going somewhere else to major in business than i would be majoring in econ at ucla. i.e. business admin at irvine(granted i get accepted to that lol)</p>
<p>Major means nothing, really. As long as you are in the ballpark for a certain field, it doesn’t really matter, and even then, who cares - you can have pre-med history majors and pre-law physics majors, it doesn’t matter.<br>
Personally, correct me if I am wrong, but the whole “business administration” major and “business” major per se is way overhyped. Does one think that majoring in business automatically leads to some glorious CEO position where you run the company from your Blackberry in the middle of the Mediterranean on your yacht with your trophy wife? </p>
<p>I can’t say where you would be better off… I would almost guarantee that career/networking/strength of degree would be better at UCLA, but that doesn’t mean **** if you’re going for an MBA/MAA/MBT. If you are looking at pursuing further education, you should go wherever you can get the highest GPA.</p>
<p>Binks09 is correct. The “business” major thing is overhyped. In business, it’s all about the school name. You can major in History at a Ivy League and still have more opportunities in business (especially finance) than a UC with “business” in the major" If you look at the top schools HPYSM, many of them don’t have a “business” major</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong to study business in undergraduate. As a fact, UCI started the new under business program two years ago. UCSD starts to offer Accounting minor this fall; UCSB changes its “Econ w/ accounting emphasis” into “Econ & Acct major”. Anyone wonders why this trend of offering the traditional “business” discipline in all the UC? Isn’t it something you find in every CSU campus?</p>
<p>There’s many aspects in business admin. CEO/Investment banking/Consulting is not everything of business admin.</p>
