<p>So I was wondering if most of the business majors at UCLA find success after college in some business firm..etc..and if internships are pretty easy to get after you graduate? Do they factor in the "UCLA" prestige? And how much is the average starting salary?</p>
<p>Short answer is yes they do fine. There is high percentage of BizEcon students who have a set, approved, and concrete plan post-graduation. I can't remember the statistic/percentage... perhaps ask the Career Center for a confirmation? ^__^" ?</p>
<p>Good question! I would like to know too...can anybody elaborate on an answer?</p>
<p>haha emmeline, I already asked the career center prior to turning in my SIR. UCLA's career center does not keep conclusive data on where their graduates go for jobs or have any survey of that sort. </p>
<p>UCLA's career center does keep data on graduate schools though.</p>
<p>to answer your question, average starting salary is probably not too much lower than that of Berkeley's. I would assume that UCLA is between SD (40k or so if i remember correctly) and Berk for business-related starting salaries (50k or so).</p>
<p>the reason i let myself choose ucla was because i realized that business economics is what you make out of it. sure you don't have a prestigious name like haas on your resume, but a select few students do manage to work at ibanks and consulting firms regardless of that fact.</p>
<p>nice thanks fastMEd..hey aren't you double majoring in science and economics? Are you just studying medicine and business and seeing what works out for you in the future?</p>
<p>Haas? Just for the record, Business Economics only superficially resembles Business Administration or Business Management (subtle difference, Admin is policy and strategy, management is application and tactics). </p>
<p>Anyways, BizEcon is really more like Economics + Accounting + Finance. More to do about the money.</p>
<p>And besides, getting an undergraduate degree in Business Administration at Cal isn't as great as having a MBA from pretty much any good business school and having experience, and that's what most BizEcon majors end up with (or so I've hard; I'm not saying an undergraduate degree from Haas is bad though).</p>
<p>Starting jobs do overlap though, so meh. Especially in the finances.</p>
<p>hmm, i was considering just doing bizecon and premed at the same time but decided against it. i am planning on trying to see if i can double major in business economics and math. i planned it out and it would require that i take 3.5 classes each quarter for 4 years with no summer sessions. not too bad. </p>
<p>i probably will start the math stuff winter or spring this year, but if i notice that business economics might be a dead end for me, i will go premed with business economics as the major and forget the math. just one year lost. no big in the grand scheme of things.</p>
<p>I personally am going for Business Economics with a Minor in Accounting. Many of the classes overlap anyways.</p>
