Economic Majors

<p>is it true that once we transfer we will only need to stay at the institution for ONE year being that our major only requires 7-8 classes to obtain a bachelors?</p>

<p>can someone enlighten me</p>

<p>I thought it took longer. What uni are you talking about?</p>

<p>if you are eager... my friend said that you could finish in 1 year. I believe berkeley offers 2 summer sessions. you can take advantage of that and finish early.</p>

<p>I'm also interested in this. Does anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>(Info pertinent to UCLA, UCB, UCD, UCSD, UCI would be especially helpful I'm assuming. )</p>

<p>NVM i got my answer</p>

<p>care to share it with the rest of us?</p>

<p>depending on the Universities, you are required to have a certain amount of credits or semester hours to obtain your B.A or B.S</p>

<p>MOST universities require about 120 credits to graduate therefore no matter how many UPPER DIVISION major courses are required you will still need to fulfill the credit requirement.</p>

<p>Econ majors are a breeze to complete, hence why they're so often paired with another major, eg, math/history/int. studies.</p>

<p>You have 60-70 units you transferred over, then you take your 7-8 econ courses and then whatever more upper div units (usually they require these be non-major courses) you need to get 120 to graduate</p>

<p>The best way you could graduate a year after transferring is to have about 30 quarter units of transferable UC credit, through a combination of summer session at a UC and cross enrollment at a UC (F/W/A). And then take 5 classes/quarter in the year you're at a UC. It's not really a good idea, but if you're stuck in junior college for two years, then it's not that impossible to do.</p>

<p>Course, I don't see why one would want to do that. It'd be kind of difficult to do a heavy upper-division course load with a job, and if finance isn't a problem, then why stress so much?</p>
