<p>Does anyone have any recommendations for classes to take in the first quarter? I'm majoring in business economics with an emphasis in accounting. Thanks!</p>
<p>hey, me too!</p>
<p>hey me too</p>
<p>econ 1? and/or your math (3a, 3b, 34a, or 34b) whichever you tested into</p>
<p>thanks!
I'll keep that in mind at orientation</p>
<p>Im biz econ/acct. Try to get the major pre reqs done as fast as you can so you can start taking major classes sooner. In the past, it has been very difficult to get into econ 118 (this maybe changing due to one larger lecture opening to accommodate 128 instead of 60 students - i think)</p>
<p>southpasdena, did you take math 3A or math 34A??</p>
<p>i am transfer student</p>
<p>but i went through the 34 series</p>
<p>regular calc will give you access to a wider range of econ classes though, such as the 104 series, econometrics, etc. Also look into the tech management program.</p>
<p>If you're sure you want to be business, look at the major sheets before deciding:</p>
<p>College</a> of Letters & Science Major and Minor Sheets (2007-2008), Office of the Registrar</p>
<p>The 3 series is more difficult, so many opt for the 34. The only reason to consider the 3 series is that, as it says on the major sheet, there are some upper division econ classes that have prerequisites of 3A-B. Depending on your emphasis, that might make a difference, so if you can't figure it out just by looking, put off your decision on it until you can drop by the econ department and ask, unless your summer advisor knows. </p>
<p>Don't freak out about 1st quarter classes. If you don't get into the ones you want for your major, you're not necessarily getting off track unless you need a series that is offered by quarter (ex. if you need Class A-B-C and A is only offered in the fall), but that's pretty rare outside the physical sciences. Otherwise, just take what you can get into, take the minimum load to ease in, and take a variety (one math, one reading, one social science, one for fun, for example). For a BA, 1/3 of your classes will be your major, 1/3 GE and 1/3 extra, so you have plenty of time to get your major ones in.</p>
