Review: Business Economics major

<p>BruinLifer, that was very informative. Thanks.</p>

<p>bump! Let me repost the original questions that ppl have been answering.</p>

<p>For all your current Biz-econ students (and recent grads as well), please give me your most complete review of the major as a whole.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that many dislike the major (that’s about as much as I know about ppl’s opinion of Biz Econ), why so? Or why not?</p>

<p>How are job opportunities? How’s recruiting? How well is your degree respected by prospective employers? I have contacted the Econ Department’s “Career Specialist” about this, but I want some words from ppl who have been through the process.</p>

<p>Is coursework hard? And if so, how hard? Compared to other majors?</p>

<p>Now to those of you that might tell me to not stress so much about prestige and job opportunities and focus on choosing a school that I truly enjoy, I would just like to say that I am completely cool with UCLA’s campus life and setting. Same with Berkeley’s (admitted, intending to major in Econ). I just want some concrete advice/suggestion to help me decide between these two great schools. Thx for your helP!!!</p>

<p>bump!!! Please, current students/grads, plz respond to the above questions!</p>

I think what has been said is said and if you still need more information you should try looking elsewhere. Not to mention there are dozens of UCLA vs Berkeley threads everywhere on both the Berkeley and UCLA subforums.</p>
