<p>I am an entering freshman and I previously saw a thread on whether or not it was possible to graduate in three years with a double major in Business and EECS, but my question is probably quite simpler as it deals only with one of the majors: how do I graduate in three years with a degree in business if one is supposed to apply to Haas in their sophomore year for entry in their junior year? Is it possible to apply my freshman year? If so, what courses do I need to take? For now, I know I at least need to take UGBA 10, Stats (20, 21, or 25) and Econ 1 my first semester, but what else?
I have taken these AP tests and college courses:
AP: 5s on Calc BC, English Lit, Japanese, Euro, USH, World, Chem, Bio, Human Geo, Stats
4s on English Lang, Physics B
College Courses: At CSU San Marcos Math 260 (Multivariable Calc) and Math 262 (Intro to Differential Equations) At LATTC Art 101 (Art History)
I was quite unsure how the AP Credit Policy worked at Berkeley and Haas... I am also fairly certain I will be receiving my IB Diploma with over 30 points but I doubt it will give me more credit (My HLs are Spanish B, English A1, Math, and History of the Americas).</p>
<p>UGBA 10, Economics 1, and Statistics 20 or 21 may be all that you need for specific prerequisites.</p>
<p>5 on AP English Literature fulfills reading and composition for Business.</p>
<p>5 on AP Japanese fulfills foreign language for Business.</p>
<p>CSU SM Math 260 should be equivalent to Math 53, which fulfills the math requirement for Business. Verify with them that a transferred college course is accepted. If they require a Berkeley math course, you can take Math 54 or H54, since you have only partial credit for that from CSU SM Math 262.</p>

<p>You may want to fill in the rest of your schedule with breadth courses, or courses to prepare for an alternate major if you do not get into Business. Or Economics 101A if you want to double major with Economics, or more math courses if you want to double major with Math.

<p>Thank you ucbalumnus! Are there any courses you recommend to fulfill the breadth requirements? Also, what major, in your opinion, would go well with business and will give me an advantage for employment: would it be Econ or Math?
And finally, if I wanted to graduate in three years, is it possible to apply for Haas for after my freshman year?</p>
<p>It is theoretically possible to apply to Haas during your freshman year and subsequently complete the program during your sophomore and junior years. However, you run the risk of submitting an underdeveloped application relative to other applicants in their second year. (Additionally, you can only apply once to Haas.) Generally, more quantitative/technical majors/minors are considered best complements to Haas. I would in particular consider Stats, since you could apply the required cluster for that major to Haas and you’ve already completed Math 53 and some of Math 54 (assuming the CSU courses articulate and opening up the possibility of taking the other part of Math 54 at a CSU to complete the Math 54 requirement). Other options are math, as you mentioned, as well as computer science as well.</p>
<p>As far as employment goes, note the career survey:
<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm[/url]”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm</a>
Compare applied math, computer science, economics, math, statistics, and business.</p>
<p>Note that there is also a major in operations research and management science that is sort of like an “L&S IEOR” major; it may be of interest to someone interested in “quantitative business”. However, that major is capped (as is economics).</p>
