Course Selection Guide/Advice?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>Hello, I'm an incoming freshman to UCLA for the class of 2014. I am unable to attend orientation and I'd like to start selecting my courses very soon, so I was wondering if there was anyone around here with enough spare time/kindness on their hands to offer a general guide to course-selection? Ex: "You need to take 4 courses per quarter and one of them has to be a science, one a social science, one a language" etc.; basically, introduce me and others in need here to some basic framework?</p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>To be accepted into the Biz Econ major, you need to have a primary score of 3.3. Here’s the site UCLA uses to calculate your primary score: [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)</p>

<p>Once you are done taking all those pre-reqs, you can apply to the Biz Econ major. If you have a primary score of over a 3.3, you’ll get in. If it’s below, you won’t. Having just finished those pre-reqs, I would say you want to have easy quarters when you take Management 1B, Econ 11, and Econ 101. Econ 11 and 101 are the Micro econ theory courses and are considered the weeder courses for the major. The GPA you obtain in those two classes has 25% of the total weight on the primary score (your pre-req GPA is 50%, and your UCLA GPA is 25%).</p>

<p>In addition to your major pre-reqs, you need to take 10 GE’s and satisfy some university requirements, like the foreign language requirement.</p>

<p>Aw, you guys will get the hang of it quickly enough. Look into purchasing a UCLA general catalog. Also, look at the websites for the departments you’re interested in, as well as general education requirements.</p>
