<p>3+2 program with a bachelors degree and an MBA? Otherwise I'm gonna have to take UCLA off my list :(</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Umm… UCLA has departmental scholar which you have to be invited into which allows you to pursue your bachelor’s and master’s degree simultaneously.</p>
<p>invited how? Would you mind directing me with a link or explaining further?</p>
<p>This page should explain everything (sry I didn’t think to put it in my original post):</p>

<p>thanks nodnarb. However, how would this work with business? It says you must be completing the major you want to go to grad school for but UCLA does not offer undergraduate business.</p>
<p>I do not think UCLA has a 3+2. Just wondering why you’re set on the 3+2 if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>I’m not set on the 3+2, but I am most likely going to do business. Since UCLA doesn’t have an undergraduate business school, I would need the 3+2 in order to do business. If they don’t offer it, I would have to spend my 4 years at UCLA doing something completely different.</p>
<p>UCLA DOES NOT OFFER UNDERGRAD BUSINESS.</p>
<p>I know Pepperdine has one.</p>
<p>Yeah… I heard alot of good and bad about the 3+2.
The pros are a given, obviously, but the bad was that most really reputable business schools (ie. Stern, Haas, Wharton, etc…) prefer some sort of undergrad and then to go for the MBA.
Like what was said above, UCLA has departmental honors… It would probably take you 6-7 years to do both rather than your 5, but that all depends on so many factors (summer work, AP credits, undergrad major {and it’s req’s}, etc…)</p>
<p>Binks - I’m aware that UCLA doesn’t have undergrad business. I think I have said it a few times in this thread.</p>
<p>You allude to the 3+2 program – are you talking about what you have heard at other schools, or what you have seen at UCLA?</p>
<p>Also, could you explain the departmental honors thing? Is that a undergrad+grad degree at the same time? If so, how could it take seven if undergrad is four and grad is two? I’m pretty confused at the moment.</p>
<p>because some people don’t graduate undergrad in 4 and some people don’t necessarily finish graduate school in 2 so it might drag on to 7</p>
<p>oh gotcha.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any information on the program? I’m still confused how I could do it for business if I can’t do business undergrad?</p>
<p>i think most people that wants to do business major in biz-econ, im sure theres a way to do business as it is one of the most popular career path and it would be just weird for a school this big to offer nothing at all</p>
<p>The 3+2 I was referring to is offered at Pepperdine… I was SOOOO close to doing it, but I couldn’t stomach 250k when I could probably do both, longer time mind you, for around 160.</p>
<p>DEPT Honors.</p>
<p>Basically, you are a ****ing genius, or you study so much, or you sleep with all of your professors and ta’s, or you hack into ursa and change grades, either way, you get GREAT GRADES. You apply to be nominated (pretty gay) and if accepted, you can start pursuing a grad degree at the same time as your undergrad. Basically, you take a few grad courses while still doing undergrad.</p>
<p>Thanks Binks - that was extremely helpful.</p>
<p>I don’t think I could take the risk attending UCLA if I’m set on doing business then. I don’t want the pressure of having to get nothing but an A+ on every test or assignment - that is not the college environment I want.</p>
<p>Departmental honors /= 3+2 program in any figment of the imagination. If you want to study business and get into ibanking, consulting, and similar careers you’ll have to strive for A’s regardless.</p>
<p>Yes of course I plan on getting A’s. I was just saying if the program was as competitive as Binks said, I didn’t need the added pressure</p>
<p>lol everyone plans on getting A’s, chances are most UCLA students are straight A or at least mostly A students throughout highschool and most of them are not going to be straight As and mostly As students after their first year, so if you need that kind of grades then it will be very hard and a lot of pressure…</p>
