Is Econ capped, impacted, selective major at UCLA? What is pre-econ. Does it mean not admitted to the major? Thanks.
For UCLA, you are placed into a Pre-major and need to complete required Pre-Requisite courses to declare the major. Economics and Business Economics are popular majors at UCLA.
CURRENT STUDENTS! To declare the Pre-Major in Economics, the Pre-Major in Business Economics, or the Economics major, please complete the Change of Major Request Form and submit the form to the Economics Undergraduate Counseling Office online via the MyUCLA Message Center. The subject title of the message should be: Change of Major Request Form.
