<p>I've been thinking about UCSC as a college option and no matter where I go I am interested in obtaining a business degree (Accounting preferred). This turned me towards UCSC's Business Management Economics degree. So I have a few questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How is this degree compared to other business cirriculums at UCs? I understand that this program is more Economics based, however the coursework includes 23 quarter units of Accounting, which is exactly what I would need for some of the jobs I am looking into. I didn't notice on the UCSC website, but is this degree considered a BS or BA? UCSC doesn't have a business school so would this fall under like 'College of Arts and Sciences'?</p></li>
<li><p>For graduates or senior standing students, do you feel this program has adequately prepared you for futures in the business world? I understand this program wouldn't be on the calibur of recognition as UC Berkeley's programs, but is the coursework still relevant to employers (like is the undergradute program taken seriously, or is it mostly used for a gateway to a graduate or MBA program) and are applicants who graduate from the program still considered competitive against other programs other than UCB?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance for all the info!</p>
