PEIS Major @ Cal

Transfer Students
1

<p>I was looking at an email i got from Berkeley and it seems that Political Economy of Industrial Societies (PEIS) seems a lot more like what I want to do (public policy/consulting), but I got in as an econ major and I'm wondering if this is like a "downgrade." </p>

<p>This seems to be a non-impacted major and from what I can tell would potential employers consider this as an easy way to an economics degree?</p>

<p>Also, it is possible to double major in lets say Econ/PEIS and Math/Applied Math?</p>

<p>PEIS has a lot of requirements. Work out what's required and when things are offered and see if it's doable.</p>

<p>Check the career center website for what people have done with econ and peis degrees.</p>

What are you talking about? You mean you got in as L&S? All L&S applicants get put into L&S; you have to declare a major later.</p>
