Can I get into UC Irvine using the TAG method and then switch majors?

Hi! I am dead set on going to Uc Irvine but I want to major in business administration and it is a very impacted course and it is also not offered with TAG! i was wondering if i could apply to tag with business economics (which has essentially the same prerequisites) and then transfer into business administration! i am a transfer student and will have done all the prerequisites for both majors after my last year at community college.

hi, I will see if I can pull up the source, but I’m pretty sure you can’t change your TAG major

thank you! just as clarity, I wanted to get admitted as a business econ major and then try to switch majors before the school quarter starts.

If they don’t offer TAG the major must be very impacted and you shouldn’t expect to switch into it. I would just apply as Bus Admin

You usually cannot switch into an impacted major. I don’t see it happening.

Email admissions & ask them directly. Irvine admissions knows Irvine’s policies so only they can give you the correct answer.

Good luck!

@NonTradtional If OP is asking for an easier way to get into an impacted major they probably won’t get a good answer

A good answer is not always the correct answer. Especially when looking for an easier way.
