<p>I'm not sure whether I should transfer to UCSB for Fall 2015 as an Economics major or take another year of calculus at a CC and apply to UCLA for Fall 2016 as a Math/Econ major.
I'm taking Calc 1 this semester.
GPA: 3.57
Extracurriculars: Works part-time, former math club vp, homeless shelter volunteer, tea party member, and phi theta kappa member.</p>
<p>I am planning on attending graduate school as I would like to be a professor one day.</p>
<p>Ant input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>If you mean PhD program in economics, you should know that this requires a strong background in math, whether or not you are in an explicit math economics major.</p>
<p>At your CC, you should take all of frosh calculus, multivariable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. if a calculus-based statistics course is offered, take that. If a discrete math course that gives some practice in logical reasoning and mathematical proofs is offered, take that. Of course, also take introductory economics courses and breadth courses.</p>
<p>After transfer, you will want to take upper division math courses in subjects like real analysis and proof-oriented linear algebra. Calculus-based probability and statistics courses are also recommended. If the economics department offers more-math and less-math intermediate economics and econometrics courses, choose the more-math versions. See <a href=“Preparing for a PhD in Economics | Department of Economics”>Preparing for a PhD in Economics | Department of Economics; for example recommendations.</p>
