Can you double major in bizecon and math/econ?

<p>Yeah since bizecon is BA and math/econ is BS, can you double major in the two?</p>

<p>"With few exceptions, double majors in the same department are unacceptable. Students must designate one of the two majors as the primary major. No more than 5 upper division courses may be common to both majors." </p>

<p>from <a href="http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/regulations/dmajor.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/regulations/dmajor.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Math/econ and bizecon have a lot of courses in common, but I think they have exactly 5 UD courses in common. Econ 101 is considered a prereq course in bizecon, while it is a required UD course in math/econ. So math/econ has 5 UD econ courses (if econ 101 is excluded) that can be used to satisfy bizecon's econ reqs. </p>

<p>So does anyone know if you can double major in the two?</p>

<p>econ 101 is still UD regardless if its a pre-req or major req. so no.</p>

<p>Oh okay,</p>

<p>can you do applied math - actuarial plan and bizecon then?</p>

<p>^^^ I was also considering this, but am thinking it is better to go bus/econ w/ minor in accounting rather than with the actuarial plan (its just so much work)!</p>

<p>Also, does anyone have the upper/lower division course requirements for business econ (pre-bus econ?)</p>

<p>I have the actuary one

<p>but have had no luck finding the bus/econ one.</p>

<p>[UCLA</a> Department of Economics](<a href=“http://www.econ.ucla.edu/undergraduate/majors/bizecon.html]UCLA”>http://www.econ.ucla.edu/undergraduate/majors/bizecon.html) shows bizecon requirements</p>

<p>But the thing is, I would like some math emphasis on econ related field. Also getting a BA (bizecon) and BS (applied math) with accounting minor seems cool to me. I don’t think it is worth the hassle to minor in math when you only have to take 2 additional math and 3 additional stats courses to get a BS in applied math. </p>

<p>Although I have heard a lot about bizecon, I haven’t heard much about the applied math at UCLA. Can anyone tell me what it is like in terms of rigor, professors, classmates, etc…?</p>

<p>I am a freshman applicant, but already done with most of my lower divison requirements so I will have no trouble in 3 years or so even if I double major. Is this route of double majoring worth it?</p>

<p>it reallyy depends wat you wanna do when you graduate…im currentlyy a math/econ major but i wanna go into finance but the problem is that i have taken more math and programmin classes…but if i were a bus econ major it would be much helpful for me…so look at what you wanna do when u graduate and from there you can think about what you can double major in that will be helpful for u…</p>
