<p>How strong is M.E. program at Davis?
Does anyone accepted as a pre-M.E. transfers?
How would you compare UCD’s M.E. with UCSB’s Biz-Econ, accounting minor, and UCSD’s management science, economics?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Davis' Economics program is top-notch. They have very strong undergraduate professors (some of whom have been chosen by Obama to help solve the current economic issues). In addition, they offer a wide range of internships that include the opportunity to work in Washington, D.C. I haven't seen UCSD program, but the UCD program is excellent.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you Dmission.</p>
<p>All 3 programs you have mentioned are similar. One thing to note is that UC Davis does not offer the CPA required # of accounting courses, but this is a small problem that can be fixed by taking classes at Sac State or Berkeley Extension; but this is only relevant if you're looking into accounting. Otherwise, Davis gets recruited well for jobs.
Top students ~50k+, mid ~35- 45K, lower ~25k+</p>
<p>Check out the managerial economics group on facebook... I've asked some questions on there myself. Here is one of the advisors' description of ME as compared to a traditional business major:</p>

The Managerial Economics Major is not equivalent to a business major, but is instead an applied economics major. A student that majors in Managerial Economics focuses on applying economics principles to problems in management such as production and financial issues, marketing, policy, investments and environmental and resource issues. Our program ranks very highly with employers. When businesses are recruiting, they ask our advisors to attend events along with advisors from business programs at UC Berkeley, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, etc.

Our program is a mix of theory and application. Business programs tend to be more technical. You should check out our course offerings to get a feel for whether or not Managerial Economics is for you. You can find them at the following website:

<p>Employers tell us that they value our students because our degree program teaches them how to analyze and think through complex problems. They feel that the technical skills can be easily taught.
