Questions about the major of UCSB

<p>I'm an international student, and I have been admitted by UCSB. My admitted major is the Financial Mathematics and Statistics, Pre-major. I have known that this major has not been opened for such long times, so I'm pondering whether the major is professional or not. Since I have not searched much information from the UCSB official website, I hope that someone can help me and introduce to me some information about this major.</p>

<p>are you a freshman? or transfer student?</p>

<p>UCSB is extremely highly regarded in the sciences, particularly Physics (Kavli Institute for Theorectical Physics), Computer Engineering/Computer Science, and Cognitive Science (one of the foremost in Virtual Reality technologies). </p>

<p>The PStat department and, in particular, the Financial Mathematics and Statistics program and major are very highly respected. UCSB has never had a Business Administration program, but this major can take you further than most MBAs from top schools if you apply yourself well.</p>
