<p>Is there anyway to switch into pre buisness econ if you were not admitted directly into it? </p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if you can create your own major?</p>
<p>dont know about the first thing you asked but I think you can in fact ceate your own major.. If it's the same as it is at Berkeley you choose three classes and they make up your new major.</p>
