TAG; major guaranteed?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So I am about to TAG UCSB for econ. Now, I know for UCSB the major econ is not guaranteed as part of the TAG agreement. Does anyone know what that means specifically; like I have heard two ideas; 1. You are just admitted to pre-econ and have to take some classes at UCSB where if you get satisfactory grades in those classes you're in for econ :)</p>

<ol>
<li>The other theory I have heard is that UCSB will grant you admission to a select number of students for econ and the rest will have to choose another major outside the econ department, one that is less populated :(</li>
</ol>

<p>Anyone know the specifics about this issue?</p>

<p>Pretty much both are correct. Once you get to UCSB, you will have to take Econ1A and pass it with a B or higher. If you do, you get full major status, if you don’t, you have to choose another major.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the reply. Just to clarify though, if I TAG UCSB for econ, I am at least guaranteed the shot to take Econ1A?</p>

<p>Yup! Oh, and the class is called Econ 10A not Econ1A. My mistake</p>

<p>Quick question for you guys. If I apply for TAG but the calc class that I’m taking doesn’t appear in the assist webpage, does that mean I have no shot of getting in? </p>

<p>I’m taking Bus Calc in the spring instead of regular calc. I noticed that for econ and acct you can just take a statistics class and a calc class.</p>

<p>Can you reiterate your question please? Can you give me your specific situation (what major, where you’re signing your TAG to.) Would love to help.</p>

<p>If you apply TAG to UCSB for Econ, Econ/Acct and have a 2.75 GPA in the pre-major courses that you have completed by the end of the fall semester (micro,macro,calc 1 & 2, or stats) with the intent to finish any remaining pre-major courses in spring you will be admitted to the Pre-Econ major. Anyone who takes and meets this criteria will be admitted to the major. Full major status is dependent on successful completion of any pre-major courses after transfer to UCSB with a 2.85 GPA. This could be just Econ 10A for Econ majors or Econ 10A and remaining accounting courses for Econ & Accounting majors.</p>

<p>@Migman, which CC are you at?</p>

<p>I am currently at Imperial Valley College. I will have completed all of the pre major courses by the end of fall except for Bus Calc which I will take in spring for other schools. The thing is that on assist, only regular calc appears in the calc section.</p>

<p>I have a 4.0 gpa for what it’s worth. The reason I’m asking is because I don’t know if I should use my TAG on UCSB or UCD</p>
