UCLA Business Economics/Biz Econ Transfer

Hi All!

Ignore my previous post–first question resolved! Yay! I have a specific question.

I applied to Pre-Business Economics from out-of-state at the UW. Out-of-state tuition is getting scary and I would love to come back to California. I’m declared as a Business major there, specifically in Finance. I realized, however, that I am missing one of the requirements, UCLA’s equivalent of MATH 31B. I’ve finished all other requirements, including ECON 101, 41, etc. at my current institution.

I got into my second choice major… Pre-Sociology. I really wanted to get in the Business Economics major, but was offered my second choice which was not as competitive. I know that the major I was offered admission to is my primary major and I’m aware that Business Economics is selective and impacted.

If I were to complete MATH 31B at UCLA during my first quarter, I was wondering… is it possible to declare Business Economics as a DOUBLE major on top of the current major I’m admitted to (Sociology)? Or am I only allowed to apply if I was admitted only as a Business Economics major?

Or is that only acceptable vice-versa?

Also, side question: For students at UCLA who are interested in Business, do the clubs/organizations generally help you more? Or does the major play a big role in affecting career aspects?

Thank you Bruins! :slight_smile:

I know that this major is really competitive. If you check assist.org online, they tell you “After transfer to UCLA, students may not change their major to Business Economics if they were originally admitted to a major outside the Department of Economics.”
