I recently got admitted to both colleges and was wondering what would be the better pick for the field of Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance. I have heard academic-wise that both colleges are similar. I would like more insights as to what other people would choose and why?
SDSU assuming u want a real 4 year residential college experience.
Thank you,
What about comparing SDSU vs UCR for the same major?
Both SDSU and UCR admit into the Pre-major Business Admin and you have to take required courses and have a specific GPA to declare your major.
SDSU has MyMap where it will give you a 4 year plan for your class schedule: My Map
- ACCTG 201: Financial Accounting
- ACCTG 202: Managerial Accounting
- ECON 101: Principles of Economics (Macro)
- ECON 102: Principles of Economics (Micro)
- FIN 240: Legal Environment of Business
- MIS 180: Principles of Information Systems
- RWS 290: Business Communications (formerly BA; not required for Accounting majors)
- MATH 120 or MATH 150: Calculus for Business Analysis
- STAT 119 or ECON 201: Elementary Statistics for Business or Statistical Methods
Students must meet the following impaction criteria to be admitted to an upper division business major:
- Complete at least 60 units of college-level work
- Complete the 9 lower division prep courses (8 for Accounting majors) with a C or better in each (no C- and no CR/NC grades allowed)
- Have a 2.9 overall GPA or higher
UCR’s suggested 2 year Pre-Business Plan: https://chassstudentaffairs.ucr.edu/pre-business_program/prebus_01-2010.html
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 is required with a minimum 2.5 GPA in the combined GPA of the General Business Prerequisites and lower division Business requirements.
Pre-Business is a two-year program to prepare students to apply to Business Administration. (The Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration is only offered at UC Riverside, UC Irvine, and UC Berkeley.) Students who enter UCR as freshmen initially enroll and are advised in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in a Pre-Business status. The College breadth requirements and the prerequisites for Business Administration major are completed during the freshman and sophomore years. An application to Business Administration is submitted at the end of the sophomore year. Upon acceptance, students become Business Administration majors and are then advised in the School of Business, Undergraduate Business Program Administration.
Pre-Business students must attend a Business Administration Workshop in order to submit the Business Administration Application electronically the quarter in which the College breadth and lower division Business Administration prerequisites are being completed. Students must apply to Business Administration by the time 90 units are completed. Any exceptions must have the prior approval of the Assistant Dean in the School of Business Adminstration.
