<p>how do i declare a double major in econ and business? do i need to contact both departments?</p>
<p>also, if i wait to see i get admitted into Haas, and i get rejected, how long would it take to major in Econ?</p>
<p>Economics is a capped major, meaning you have to apply to get in. I think they accept 2 out of 3 applicants.</p>
<p>Economics requires one more upper div beyond Haas prereqs to declare, one out of the following: 100A/100B or 101A/101B.</p>
<p>So to double major, you have to apply to Haas and Econ individually. Then if you get into both, fill out of a "declaration of double major" or something of that sort at Campbell hall, get your advisers' signatures and then submit it at Campbell. It takes approx 2 weeks for it to show up on bearfacts.</p>
<p>"Ok, c'mon peeps.</p>
<p>He's taking English, Asian STUDIES, and psychology.</p>
<p>Now, let's be honest. The latter two are easy and notoriously so. He should take 4 classes. Just take another course that fulfills a breadth, whether it be 3 or 4 units.</p>
<p>And honestly, the question about having 3 classes a day is ridiculous, as b*tchy as I sound. Tons of people work, go to school, and do ECs from 9 in the morning til 6 at night every single day."</p>
<p>Well, taking 3 courses is also a good way to ease into college academics, and check out clubs/activities without hurting time that should be devoted to studying. It's up to you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Fair point, but with these three classes he probably doesn't need to study that much (well for the latter two). He can probably manage a few clubs and take 4 classes on top of that just fine.</p>
<p>whoops....</p>
<p>"Please be aware that freshmen admitted to UC Berkeley Fall 2004 and after are only allowed to apply to the economics major if, including work in progress, they have reached less than or equal to 80 total units. This total excludes high school enrichment units, e.g. Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or other college units earned prior to high school graduation."</p>

<p>law...you just contradicted yourself, there. What you quoted states that the 80 units EXcludes AP, IB, and any other college units earned prior to high school graduation.</p>
<p>Yea.... the quote contradicted your point rather than reinforce it.</p>
<p>oh hmm... my bad, i guess i should read what a quote, huh. :D</p>
<p>what was the point of the quote? what is this 80 units thing?</p>
