Haas Questions

<p>I'm planning on majoring in Economics, but I'm debating whether or not to go into Haas for undergrad business. I eventually would like to get an MBA in grad school. My question is, do you have to be on the business track in order to get into Haas? Would taking courses that serve to benefit the Econ major fulfill these prereqs? If not, which classes are required to get into Haas?</p>

<p>Sorry if these questions are stupid or redundant; the thought of Haas didn't actually cross my mind until a couple weeks ago and so I don't really know much about it.</p>

<p>there are some overlaps between haas pre-requisites and econ pre-requisites. For Econ, you need TWO semester of calculus, while haas requires ONE semester. Econ also requires econ 1 AND econ 100A/100B while haas only requires Econ 1.</p>

<p>You also need to finish your breadths in the year you apply and take an additional literature course, approved by Haas, aside from your normal R&C.</p>

<p>demoz, I thought some of the pre-reqs can still be taken in the 1st and 2nd semester of sophmore year. Which ones HAVE to be finished by the start of our sophmore year?</p>

<p>I said they had to be finished in the year that you applied, not the semester. So, you can allocate it however you want as long as u finish by your sophomore year.</p>

<p>So, from your comments I"m gathering that if I want to go the Haas route, I’ll need to do so from the get-go and not take any “extra” Econ courses? Or should I work as if I’m going Econ, taking those extra calculus courses and econ courses just in case I change my mind or don’t get into Haas? Basically, which courses are required by Haas that aren’t required by an Econ major?</p>

<p>you should be taking classes as if you’re pursuing both majors simultaneously. I think econ requires an extra econ class and two semesters of calculus while Haas has an extra literature requirement.</p>

<p>if you’re planning to get an MBA in the future, don’t major in Business for undergrad. major in something else. i think it’s really futile to major in business for undergrad and then get a masters for it. not worth it.</p>
