<p>Any experienced bizecon majors recommend when freshmen/sophomores should take their classes?</p>
<p>My understanding is:
Econ 1 - Fall Freshman
Econ 2 - Winter Freshman
Econ11 - Spring Freshman
Econ101- Fall Sophomore
Econ41 - Winter Sophomore
Math 31A - duno
Math 31B - duno
Management 1A - duno
Management 1B - duno</p>
<p>that's fine, that's almost exactly the schedule i followed.</p>
<p>if u were to take math31a, when would you take it? would you take it fall freshman?</p>
<p>I'd try to take 31b the quarter right before EC 11 and EC 101 right after EC 11.</p>
<p>EC11 uses a lot of calc. its a hard class and your gonna want it fresh in your mind, also 101 is basically a continuation of 101 and you will you a lot of what you learned in 11.</p>
<p>Of course, both of these statements depends on the professor, but both are generally true.</p>
<p>Also note that 31b is a prereq. for 11.</p>
<p>wut about 31a?</p>
<p>How will this schedule be affected if I decide to add an Accounting Minor?</p>
<p>Dustyb20, what if I already have AP credit for 31a and 31b? Do I have to refresh my calculus somehow?</p>
<p>Dragon, if you look at the acct prereqs, they are almost identical to the biz econ ones.</p>
<p>"How will this schedule be affected if I decide to add an Accounting Minor?"</p>
<p>It wouldn't, because the accounting minor shares almost the exact same pre-reqs as business econ.</p>
<p>To answer multiple people:</p>
<p>Collegegirl
-Take 31A right before 31B (is this what you were asking?)</p>
<p>Dyip
-Depends on the professor, if you have time, I'd just spend a few hours looking back over it, but I'd probably wait till the quarter starts too see. Try to take McDevitt, his calc is very easy. I took Skreta, some tough math with her, but credit was given mostly for right procedure, so it wasn't bad.</p>
<p>Brandnew2</p>
<p>-Yeah, don't worry about it, if your doing Biz econ the minor is only 3 extra classes, and as the other guy said, the prereqs. are the same.</p>
<p>Why doesn't the Economics department integrate the Accounting minor as part of the Business Economics core curriculum? The majority of Biz Econ students already take the Accounting minor; I don't think there's enough Biz Econ majors not taking those three electives to justify declaring Accounting to be a separate minor. Most minors typically require five or more upper-division courses... can you really group Accounting with them? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>do u take math31a first quarter fresh yr? also, when do ppl take the accounting minor? is accounting only for those who got into bizecon?</p>
<p>dustyb:
-I wasn't asking anything, heh, I was answering the other guy's question.</p>
<p>collegegirlgirl:
You can take Math 31A whenever you want, there's no "right" time to take things. But most people take it either their first or second quarter because it's very early in the sequence. </p>
<p>You don't really "take" the accounting minor, it's a sequence of courses just like anything else. Most people apply for the accounting minor at the start of their junior year. And it's not only for people that are biz-econ. It's just that a lot of biz-econ people do it.</p>
<p>These are the courses listed for the Accounting Minor:
<a href="http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x1204.xml%5B/url%5D">http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x1204.xml</a></p>
<p>Does that mean we take all of the lower division and upper divison courses?</p>
<p>Dragon17: No, those are just all the courses they offer. The upper-div courses you need for the minor are listed here:
<a href="http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x7167.xml%5B/url%5D">http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x7167.xml</a></p>
<p>and the prereqs are here:

<p>Yeah I know, I meant it to dragon17, I typed your name by mistake, you were "the other guy" in my sentence.</p>
<p>Is it possible for me to take more than 2 of the required upper-division courses? Will they allow for me to take more?</p>
<p>Do you mean take more than 2 of the elective upperdivs? Yes, you can take as many of the courses as you want. </p>
<p>In fact, I think you actually have to take more than what the accounting minor requires in order to have enough credits to sit for the CPA exam (don't quote me on this though).</p>
<p>for those of you have done it already, when did you take Management 1A and
Management 1B? Ez , hard?</p>
<p>When is the best time to take them u think?</p>
<p>Management 1A and 1B up until this last quarter were combined in one course, known as Management 100. Then they split them up. So you won't find many people who have taken 1A and 1B, because they only started offering them this quarter. I took 100 the beginning of my sophomore year. You can take them whenever, but I recommend not taking it your first quarter here, because it's bad if you screw up in them. </p>
<p>Some people find management hard, some find it easy. It's really hard to predict whether how you'll find them. Accounting classes in general though, are pretty competitive.</p>
<p>wow brandnew you must of declared for the major rather early. What was your primary score if you dont mind me asking and when do most students declare as business econ majors.</p>
