UCR, UCI, or UCSD for Business

College Search & Selection
1

I am debating which school to go to for business. I know UCR is not considered the best but does have a good business program.
Which would better
UCR - Business admin
UCI - Business admin
UCSD - Management science
I know UCSD is ranked higher overall but would it be better to major in Management science over business admin at either UCR or UCI

Are you applying for Fall 2017? Freshman/Transfer? It will depend upon your Stats?

3

Yes, fall 2017. I am a transfer

4

All i know is ucr has the biggest business program out of all the ucs

5

Yeah I have heard that. Some people say UCR because it has a good business program but others say UCSD because it is higher ranked overall

I was business major at UCR until this year, as I’m transferring to UCSD.
I will be majoring International Business, which I think is the only ‘business’ major at this school.
Although I only looked through the websites and attended one orientation, I can already tell that UCR has
much better business program. Still, I think UCSD’s ranking, reputation, and the opportunities around the area are much better. If anything, I suggest you to go with either UCI or UCSD.

7

So you guys think it is better to go with UCSD despite UCR having a better business program? And is UCI better over UCR?

8

I would go the school and program that fits you best. If you think that UCR’s Business program is better than UCSD’s and UCI’s then yes. Most employers do not care where you went for undergrad, they are more interested in what kind of skills you can bring to the job.

UCI’s program is very difficult to get into because of the number of apps. They take a very small percentage of business admin majors. You should probably apply to all of these universities and see how it all works out.

10

Which school would I have better opportunities/connections with? UCSD?

11

Assuming you have the stats, TAG UCR and apply to all 3.

12

Yeah, i was planning on doing TAG on UCR and applying to all of them. But if by chance that I got into all 3, I do not know which one would be the best option

13

What is the difference between management science and business admin?

14

Given the choice I would lean more towards UCI if you are looking for a pure business program. It ranks high (#32 USNews) and is well thought of regionally. Network, get an internship and some work experience, and you will do very well. Good luck.

UCSD is better overall, but doesn’t have many business degrees except management science

Try UC Davis
UCI
UCR
