<p>There's really not too much information out there about these majors, or I could not just be finding it. I've only ran into a few of each of these majors around campus and they seem to like it, but how does it fare against Economics in the job market? According to the career center they get similar jobs, but is that true? Would you say either of these two majors are difficult majors? I really don't know much about these majors and am interested, so any help is appreciated! Thanks.</p>
<p>Neither major is difficult. Usually people who major in PE or EEP are people who are:
- Very interested in the environment/IR
- Can’t handle math
- Didn’t get into the Econ major
- Like to relax/chill
- Other</p>
<p>The classes in PE and EEP tend to be easier. However, they are not as favorably looked up as a legit Econ major. But since the Econ major is capped/competitive, many choose to go the EEP and PE route and end up with some good jobs 
</p>
<p>If you can pull off a 3.8 in EEP/PE, it’s better than a 3.0 in Econ. </p>
<p>Also career center data is shaky. First because it’s survey base. Second, each major has a non-response rate. People who tend not to respond tend to be those who don’t have a job/have crappy jobs. If you look at the response rate: Econ 34%, EEP 19%, PE 27%. Third, look at the employment rate. Fourth, look at the sectors that people are in. Fifth, look at average salary.</p>
<p>I’ve found that the upper-div microecon course for PE doesn’t require knowledge of calculus whereas the equivalent course for EEP does. That could be some indication of the level of math expected for the two majors.</p>
<p>Hi, I am applying EEP at Cal this year. I was wondering if you know anything with this major and the average GPA for transfer student? I heard that there are lots of people applying this major this year?
Thank you.</p>
