UCLA quarter system classes

<p>My question is that for the major requirements there are only 10 undergrad courses required for a major but since UCLA is on the quarter system that means each course is only 1 quarter long correct? So you'd take 10 quarter classes over the course of 2 years? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me....please explain</p>

<p>Where am i getting the 10 courses thing from?
UCLA</a> Economics</p>

<p>Are you counting college requirements like Writing I, II, Foreign Language, and a couple others? I believe it’s 5.<br>
Are you counting 10 classes worth of GE’s?
Are you counting 10 pre-majors?
Are you counting 10 majors? (yes)</p>

<p>So right there that’s a minimum of 35 classes. And with the average student taking 3-4 classes per quarter (let’s assume 3.5 is average), that’s already 10 quarters right there = 3 full years and an extra quarter as the bare minimum. </p>

<p>Econ’s a pretty simplistic and less total course major, so you should be able to graduate in 4 years or less with relative ease. </p>

<p>I’m Biz Econ with Accounting, came in with very few AP’s or requirements already completed, and if I pushed myself could be done in 3 years, 1 quarter - but will likely just skate to 3 years, 2 quarters.</p>

<p>Well see thats the thing i’m not counting those. I plan on transfering there after getting all my premajor and GE’s out of the way in CC. So if i did that there would only be 10 classes left. I believe there are 3 quarters correct? So if thats true following the 3-4 classes rule I could get 10 our of the way easy in my first year there. I was thinking if this was all i had to take then I might be able to get a math minor because it would just be a few more classes than I would have already had to take.
And one more question for you binks09 you’re in bizecon which is what i want to get into but i hope to go into strategy consulting after is bizecon the right major for that or just normal economics? Because i hear some people say bizecon is just a lot of accounting. Thanks!</p>

<p>You need 180 units to graduate. So even if you tranferred with 105 (which is the max; i.e. 70 semester units) And did all 10 classes (assuming they’re 4 units each) you’d still need 35 more units to get to the 180 cap to graduate. So you’d fulfill the major requirements, but not the degree requirements. I think at least a certain amount of the your total units need to be upper division as well (it’s 60 iirc.)</p>
