<p>Hello all, I was wondering how good the majors related to business are at UCSC? Anything especially good that is related to human resources, public relations, or communications? Looking at the majors offered at Santa Cruz it seems like there is not much of a variety in choices in major aside from Business Management Economics.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any feedback.</p>
<p>PS. How good is that major? Is it difficult or worthwhile in comparison to other business related majors at other schools?</p>
<p>Other than UCB, UCI, and UCR, no other UC offers an actual undergraduate degree in business. The business management economics major is mostly based on economics and accounting. There are a few finance courses, but those are mostly based on economic theory. It’s a good major, but it really depends what type of career you are pursuing. Accountants here are HIGHLY recruited and have great job placement. </p>
<p>Otherwise, UCSC does not have any specific courses in HR, PR, or communications. If I remember correctly, no UC’s offer specific courses in HR or PR on the undergraduate level. However, there are UC’s that offer a degree in communications</p>
<p>If you are interested in a career in HR/PR/Communications, a business degree really isn’t needed. You can take courses in Writing/English or Econ and still find a job in those industries.</p>
