<p>1) Since I am planing to go into accounting, would UCSC be a good choice for me? I got into Business Management Economics.</p>
<p>2) Is minoring in CS worth it? </p>
<p>3) Is it easy to double major in CS and Buss Econ?</p>
<p>I have the same question</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Yes, it’s probably the best career path that the Business Management Economics major offers. If you can keep your GPA up, you can easily get into one of the Big 4 accounting firms (they recruit here quite a bit).</p></li>
<li><p>Up to you. I always think people should find ways to make themselves standout, so getting a minor/second major that is USEFUL in the industry will really help you in the long term. However, DO NOT let these additional minors/second majors impact your GPA. One of my friends decided to load his freshman year with math classes (wanted a math minor) and really killed his gpa.</p></li>
<li><p>I wouldn’t say easy, but it will require a lot of work.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I would seriously look into the Technology and information management minor if I were you. It will give you a decent background in comp sci as it relates to information systems. Essentially, it is CS + Econ.</p>
<p>Thank you @ MidnightGolfer</p>
<p>Does Technology and information management relate more to Business Information systems?</p>
<p>So if I want to go into accounting，I just need to focus on my GPA？</p>
<p>@Donkeykong: All schools have a different name for the major, but yes it’s pretty much business information systems. Check out [Technology</a> and Information Management](<a href=“http://registrar.ucsc.edu/catalog/programs-courses/program-statements/tim.html]Technology”>http://registrar.ucsc.edu/catalog/programs-courses/program-statements/tim.html) for a better look on what kind of classes this major entails. I think the minor is a decent add on if you aren’t too serious about diving into CS.</p>
<p>@Phoenix: Pretty much, but there are some caveats. I would focus on taking more of the accounting based classes if you are seriously interested in going that route. The funny thing about Business Management Econ in UCSC is that you could technically graduate without taking that many accounting classes. </p>
<p>You should also have something to show on your resume. It can be basic such as joining a business frat or some clubs, but it is something to put down. The better your list, the better job offers you’ll receive. Then I think the only thing separating you is a bad interview, so knowing how to talk to potential employers is essential (go to career fairs and test out your skills).</p>
<p>@MidnightGolfer Thanks a lot for answering！That’s really helpful.</p>
