<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just recently learned of my acceptance in to the EECS program at Cal for Fall 2011 as a transfer student. I am seriously considering a double major in EECS and economics or mathematics. Does anybody know someone who has successfully handled EECS with another major at Cal? Someone who was a transfer student? If so, is it doable in two years? I have most of my GE's knocked out from community college. Also, how does economics set me up for an MBA (if it at all does)? I am hoping to pursue a graduate education in business and/or computer science and/or something tech related. Mathematics is more of a personal interest.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>You probably want to look at the [Undergraduate</a> Notes](<a href=“http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/]Undergraduate”>Information for Current Undergraduate Students | EECS at UC Berkeley) for degree requirements.</p>
<p>Note the sample curricula for transfer students, and the assumptions about what courses transfer students did or did not have in community college. But you have to check which of the courses like CS 61A/61B/61C/70 and EE 40/20N you have had, or are able to take in the summer, at community college, in order to determine how much breathing room in your schedule you have.</p>
<p>A second major may be difficult to fit in (math: 8 upper division math courses, though if applied math, there may be some overlap with CS or EE courses; economics: 8 upper division economics courses, though 2 required ones (101A, 101B) can be used against the upper division requirement of the [College</a> of Engineering Humanities and Social Studies Requirement](<a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/HSS%20MASTER%20List%202011-12%20%203-30-11%20FINAL.pdf]College”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/HSS%20MASTER%20List%202011-12%20%203-30-11%20FINAL.pdf). In addition, you will need to satisfy [College</a> of Letters and Science requirements<a href=“though%20if%20you%20have%20IGETC%20completed,%20that%20would%20be%20easier”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>A [url=<a href=“http://math.berkeley.edu/undergraduate_minor.html]math”>http://math.berkeley.edu/undergraduate_minor.html]math</a> minor](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/summary.html]College”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/summary.html) requires 5 upper division math courses, and may be more doable.</p>
<p>You may just want to take additional math and economics courses that are of personal interest; note that since you need two upper division humanities or social studies courses anyway, you can use two economics courses like 101A and (101B or 136) to fulfill that (and the series requirement). Don’t forget that you need an [American</a> Cultures](<a href=“http://americancultures.berkeley.edu/]American”>http://americancultures.berkeley.edu/) course somewhere, although you can use [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) to find community college courses for that.</p>
